Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has lamented that Nigeria is currently on drip and oxygen, saying everything must be done to ensure it survived.

Ortom spoke in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Friday on arrival from London along with Governor Nyesom Wike and others.

He said he and others were looking at how they could harness ideas and put themselves together to ensure that the nation got out of the present challenges.

According to him, from top to bottom, the nation had not fared better than it was in 2015 as things had degenerated.

“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,” Ortom said.

The Benue governor said individually, they had commitment in Europe apart from the consultation that occurred.

He said despite the consultations with presidential candidates, nothing concrete had been decided on by the team, saying they were still going to meet.
