Bode George, the former deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has stated that the party will not run a Northerner for president in the upcoming general elections in 2027.

At a gathering hosted by the PDP’s Lagos State branch on Thursday to commemorate what they called the party’s revival, George made this statement.

According to the senior statesman, any attempt to do so would be disrespectful to the PDP’s founding fathers.

“There is no chance that our party will have somebody from the North in 2027. That would be insulting to the founding fathers of the party, many of whom have passed to the great beyond.

“They (those going against the party’s zoning policy) are perpetually dancing on their (the founding fathers) graves because they are being insulted.

“The late Alex Ekwueme contested for the presidential ticket of the PDP but did not win. However, that did not cause him to collapse the party. That is what you call a God-fearing gentleman.

“On those defecting from the PDP to form a coalition, he said: “I have some advice for all those who have broken away and are saying they are going into a coalition to defeat Bola Tinubu.

“In the meantime, I can tell you confidently that Bola Tinubu and his group are coercing our governors to join the APC. However, the power does not belong to him. People of this country, please open your eyes.

“With all these people running around, a rolling stone gathers no moss. They tried it before, but they ran back. What they are doing is like disowning their father’s house.

“Can you leave your father’s house because it is leaking, and go and stay at a tenant’s,” he asked.
