The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has been compared to an Iroko tree by Bode George, a member of the Board of Trustees, BoT.

George alleged that the police officers who surrounded the PDP’s National Secretariat in Abuja and stopped its members from meeting claimed that the directive originated from above.

Because police officers kept members from sitting, the BoT was unable to meet at the Secretariat.

However, the Secretariat was not sealed off, according to the FCT Police Command.

George, however, emphasized that individuals who make such statements are dreamers and stated that the PDP is still alive despite the disturbance.

In response to assertions that the PDP has died on Politics Today on Channels Television, George stated: “No way; those are dreamers. I’m telling you they are first-class dreamers.

“In political management, ownership structure, camaraderie—what we have in the PDP, they don’t have.”

Despite recent difficulties, he added, the erstwhile ruling party is “the Iroko political party of Nigeria, its roots remain deep and intact.”

According to George: “It was disgraceful, It’s like going back to your home, and suddenly it’s surrounded by police. I thought, what in the globe is happening?

“The police officers were not rough, they were civil, when I asked what was happening if they had a court order? But they just said sir we are on orders, so I went into the building, I went upstairs from there I left for the meeting rescheduled at the Yar’Adua Centre.

“I was so furious about what is going on, who is the order from above? That’s what we kept asking until we got to NEC meeting and I’m sure that will never happen again because it has never happened.

“We then concluded that this was part of the crisis we have been going through and this experience we are having are loads of lessons for party members.”
