Nigeria is on drip… on oxygen, says Ortom

Benue State Governor, Samuel Orto is critically sick and currently on a drip as well as oxygen mask.

The governor stated this at the Port Harcourt International Airport on Friday when he returned to the country with Governors Nyesom Wike of Rivers, and Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors were in Europe for days where they held meetings with the three leading presidential candidates.

Ortom said, “We are looking at how we can harness ideas and put ourselves together to ensure that we get out of the present challenge we are in Nigeria today.

“From top to bottom, consider what has happened from 2015 and where we are today. So, what we are doing is a concern that we have for our country, Nigeria.

“This is beyond partisan politics. We are looking at how we can come together and find a way of ensuring that Nigeria survives. Nigeria is on a drip, Nigeria is on oxygen; and it is about how we can get out of this.

“We have individually also had earlier commitments in Europe even if consultations are still going on because nothing concrete has been decided. The consultation is going on and will continue to go on. We are still going to meet here.”
