The Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, says the Presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi should reach out to other candidates so as to harmonize their thoughts to proffer lasting solutions to the crises bedeviling the country.
Ortom said this on a television programme on Thursday.
According to the governor, the problems in the country at the moment should be approached beyond partisan interests.
He took a swipe at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for taking the country to the nadir of despair.
“The situation we see ourselves in now is beyond partisan politics and I advised Peter Obi to reach out to Atiku, Tinubu and Kwankwanso in order to brainstorm solutions to the challenges plaguing the country.
“Even if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not there, I believe any other party can win the APC due to the evils they have wrought on the people of Nigeria”, Ortom said.
On why he was absent in the just-concluded governorship election in Osun State, Ortom said he had a pre-planned meeting with some PDP governors on the fortunes of the party.
He isolated the impact of and commitment of Rivers State Governor, Nyeson Wike, in the survival of the party, adding that the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, should meet with him for a way forward.
