” The issues in Nigeria go beyond party affiliations. Nigeria is on drip critically needs attention. The situation in the country is overwhelming. We must rescue Nigeria from the current APC leaders.”
Speaking on the morning show on Arise News, Governor Ortom said the country is fully divided on many fronts.
On the issue of post primary, Governor Ortom said Atiku Abubakar was wrong to have chosen Governor Okowa as a running mate.
” It is an insult to put a call to Wike. He is a pillar of this party. Atiku should have picked Wike as a running mate. Atiku should have consulted Wike before making his choice of Okowa. I don’t have any issue with Okowa but those who made the choice for Atiku be blamed.”
Ortom said the party leadership needs to find a way to consult Wike and resolve all the issues of grievances with him.
