Gov. Nyesom Wike of Rivers has donated 25 buses to the campaign team of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue, according to Gov Samuel Ortom
Ortom, who disclosed this on Tuesday in Makurdi during the inauguration of the party’s campaign council, said that each of the 23 local governments would get a bus.
“Wike has also promised to be in Makurdi for the flag-off of the campaigns slated for Monday,” Ortom said.
He thanked Wike for always standing with Benue people both in good and bad moments.
He said that if the Presidential candidate of the party addresses the challenges rocking the party, all PDP members would work together to rescue Nigeria, declaring that he had no issues with any candidate of the party.
He encouraged the national leadership of the party to listen to the voice of reason and address the burning issues raised by the five governors.
“All I and my colleagues want is for the committee of the whole house to address the issues holistically.
