THE G5 governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have abandoned their attempt to line up behind a single presidential candidate in the February presidential election. Ortom is stoutly in favour of the candidate of Obi, announcing on Tuesday that he supports his endorsement by former President Olusegun Obasanjo. It was learnt that the G5 members went into Wednesday’s meeting to encourage each other to take a position that is consistent with his state’s political reality in order not to jeopardise their personal ambitions. The source added that the Ibadan meeting should produce a common stand where the governors will now be allowed to stick to their preferences. Benue can say whatever he wants to say.
