Bode George, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Board of Trustees, claims that the party has been revived, defying rumors that it had died.
George said this in an interview on Politics Today on Channels Television just after the party’s important National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting to address the PDP’s dilemma.
“We have already done the resurrection today. An iroko tree doesn’t die, this party is an iroko tree because the tap root is so deep,” George said.
He claimed that certain lawmakers have strayed from the party’s founding fathers’ aspirations and are acting selfishly.
“We have learnt a lesson and that lesson was the beginning of the meeting yesterday and today. What it reminded me was the peak of our existence as a political party. I left the chambers feeling reinvigorated.
“The PDP NEC meeting was the realisation of the failures and things that we have done. This party is not a party for one individual, no individual can claim ownership of this party,” he added.
The elder statesman added that Adolphus Wabara, the chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees, or BoT, urged PDP members to be selfless instead of selfish.
When asked if he would leave the party for the ruling All Progressives Congress, or APC, the octogenarian fiercely refused, criticizing President Bola Tinubu’s policies and lamenting the suffering in the nation.
He claims that because of the poor state of the electoral process, the APC lost the 2023 presidential election.
