Rare Photos of PDP's G-5 Governors Led By WIke Seen Dancing in Traditional Attire Emerge

On Sunday, November 6, members of the Peoples Democratic Party's G-5 Governors' team were at Makurdi, Benue state's capital city for the flag-off of the party's governorship campaign in the state.

The four governors led by their Rivers state colleague, Nyesom Wike met with the number one man in Benue state, Samuel Ortom.

Ortom met with Governor Wike of Rivers; Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu and Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia state at the Makurdi Airport in Benue where he received the G-5 members.

A statement signed by Nathaniel Ikyur, the chief press secretary of Ortom and seen by Legit.ng said that the governor was also in Benue to commission some of the projects in the state.

Ikyur's words:

"The four influential PDP Governors also known as G-5 are in Benue State to commission some projects executed by the Ortom-led administration and also lead in the flag-off of the PDP campaigns in the state scheduled for Monday, November 7, 2022."

However, quite remarkable about the governors' visit to Benue was the attire they donned after meeting Ortom.

The governors were seen wearing the Benue Unity attire - a traditional attire which represents the three major tribes in the state. The tribes are TIV, Idoma and Igede.

The governors were in Benue state with their Rivers state counterparts for the flag-off of the governorship campaign in the state.

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state received his colleagues at the Makurdi Airport in the state's capital city.

For saying Rivers has good ties with Atiku, Wike drops bombshell, throws heavy allegations against ex-minister

Governor Nyesom Wike had earlier accused the former minister of transport of failing to deliver on project contracts awarded to him by the state.

Wike's allegation followed comments made by the former minister, Abiye Sekibo, that Rivers people have a good relationship with the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)

The Rivers state governor noted that Atiku Abubakar has a personal relationship with Sekibo and not Rovers state as a whole.
