He disclosed the group’s unwavering support for Tinubu, stating that they have no regrets for endorsing his victory in the last election.
Ortom assured Nigerians that Tinubu will effectively address the country’s security, economic, and other pressing challenges.
Ortom said:
“If we work to ensure Bola Ahmed succeeds, there will be tomorrow for anybody to even contest the election at all.
“Our leader, Nyesom Wike, has already made a declaration that in 2027, we are supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“We have nowhere to go because that is what Nigerians believe. Even the past administration that took Nigeria from top to bottom, we allowed them to work for eight years.
“So, why can’t a seasoned administrator in the person President Bola Ahmed Tinubu rule us for eight years.”
