Bode George says all is not well with PDP, elders must rise up

As reported by Vanguard, he noted that members and leaders must use the forthcoming national convention to rescue the party.

Speaking on the current crisis rocking the PDP, George said “all is not well with our party. In fact, our party is derailing,” just as he urged all aggrieved members and leaders to close ranks to fix the PDP.

George said:

“Today, our founding fathers who have gone to the world beyond will be crying in their graves because this party has become a shadow of itself due to selfish interests of some members.
“It is a pity that some members, who are pretentious, are already working for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the build-up to the 2027 elections. They have one leg in PDP and another leg in APC. Such chameleonic characters are the ones trying to dictate the direction of this party. Their rhetorics are always marked by unwarranted claim to political and social standing, power and dominance, using meaningless language with an exaggerated style and importance to impress Nigerians and APC.”
