Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue state, says Nigeria’s survival is hanging by a thread.
The governor spoke at the Port Harcourt International Airport on Friday when he returned to the country alongside Nyesom Wike, Rivers state governor, and Okezie Ikpeazu, Abia governor.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors were in Europe for the past few days where they held meetings with the three leading presidential candidates.
Speaking shortly after their arrival, 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 can we 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.”
