The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has clarified that there was no time the G-5 governors agreed to support the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi in the just-concluded election. THE NATION reports.Information Guide Nigeria

 “There was never a time the integrity Group met and say it must be this person. We only agreed on southern President. We formulated strategies and the southern President emerged. Our interest is that a southern President should emerge.

“When we went to our meeting, we decided on the southern President. We didn’t say it must be this. We said whatever you are doing it must be the southern President. The aim of G5 was equity, fairness, and justice”.

He said though the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, won his reelection, he had earlier said he would not mind sacrificing his second term on the altar of equity, justice, and fairness.

Wike said: “Ortom said even if he loses his senatorial election, let equity, justice and fairness prevail. He may not gain it now. But history will be kind to him. Same applies to Ugwuanyi and Ikpeazu. Even Makinde said even if he lost his governorship ambition, he was interested in the unity of Nigeria”.JAMB Result
