Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, on Tuesday tried to explain his deal with the five aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Governors are Nyesom Wike of Rivers, Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu).
The PDP governors have stayed away from the PDP presidential campaign activities over internal party disagreement and are insisting National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu should step down.
Obi spoke when he visited Ortom in Makurdi and said he shares the same passion for a better Nigeria with the PDP governors.
He also criticised the All Progressive Congress (APC) for the poor management of the country in the last seven years.
The LP candidate praised Ortom for confronting the security challenges in Benue State at personal risk.
Obi said: “The only deal I have with them is that they are passionate about Nigeria.”
In his remark, the Benue governor urged the LP candidate to negotiate power with other leading presidential candidates with a view to serving the people.
