The principles driving the group of five (G-5) governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been revealed to symbolise integrity, patriotism, equity, fairness and justice.
The Governor of Benue State, Dr. Samuel Ortom, made the disclosure during a cultural night dinner organised by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for his colleagues at the Government House, Enugu, yesterday.
Other members of the G5 at the event were the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike and the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, while Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State is presently out of the country for an official engagement.
Thanking Gov. Ugwuanyi for the warm reception he accorded them, Gov. Ortom said that the G5 PDP Governors also known as Integrity Governors are passionate about the peace, unity and progress of Nigeria, stating that “we want things to work.”
The Benue State Governor stressed that “our passion is how can we make things work here in Nigeria by being disciplined,” adding: “It is not about ourselves; it is not about our ego; it is about what we would do to turn around things and ensure the rule of law, due process and integrity in what we do, so that we will have other people visiting us, so that there will be security, so that our economy will be on the right path
