On Friday, August 26, the governor addressed at the Port Harcourt International Airport alongside the governors of Abia and Rivers states, Nyesom Wike and Okezie Ikpeazu.
Recall that the PDP governors met in London with Peter Obi, the Labour Party's presidential candidate, and former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo. They also had a meeting with Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate for their party.
Governor Ortom, who has never concealed his dislike of the Buhari-led administration, said in a statement shortly after their arrival: "We are looking at how we can harness ideas and put ourselves together to guarantee that we get out of the present difficulty we are in Nigeria today.
Think about what has happened since 2015 and where we are now from top to bottom. Therefore, our actions are motivated by our concern for Nigeria, our homeland.
Beyond partisan politics, this is. We are trying to figure out how we can work together to keep Nigeria alive. Nigeria is on oxygen and a drip, and the question is how to escape this situation.
Even though conversations are still ongoing because nothing definitive has been decided, we each have prior commitments in Europe. The consultation is still ongoing and will remain so. We will continue to gather here.
