Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has hailed his Benue State counterpart, Samuel Ortom for backing the return of power to the southern region of Nigeria at the expense of his senatorial ambition.
Wike spoke on Tuesday during the commissioning of the Government Secondary School Kpor in the Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Ortom is one of the aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who, in the buildup to the 2023 general elections, demanded that presidency rotate to the southern part of the country from the north. Other G5 governors are Wike, Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu).
