The presidential candidate of the Labour party, Peter Obi, has revealed the “deal” he has with some aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He disclosed this in Makurdi during a visit to Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom on Tuesday.
Obi, who has been meeting with some aggrieved members and governors of the main opposition party, said they have common interest in finding a better Nigeria amid increasing security threats and a humanitarian crisis.
Some of the aggrieved PDP governors include Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Okezie Ikepeazu of Abia state, and Ortom.
Obi said “The only deal I have with them is that they are passionate about Nigeria.”
The former Anambra governor, therefore, slammed the All Progressive Congress (APC) for displaying a lack of leadership during the current crisis.
Obi praised Ortom for confronting insecurity challenges in Benue state at personal risk and comfort.
Ortom, on his part, advised Obi to negotiate power with other leading presidential candidates with a commitment to serve the people.
The Governor said if he was not a member of the PDP, he would have been working for the Labour party candidate.
