A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, slammed a party faction over what he described as selfish behavior, factionalism, and existential imbecility, as the party heads toward its highly anticipated national convention in Ibadan.
George made the remarks on Thursday while responding to questions in an interview on Arise Television, monitored by DAILY POST.
He dismissed recent calls to suspend the convention or create a caretaker committee, insisting such measures were both unnecessary and unconstitutional.
The PDP stalwart stressed that the party remains united despite ongoing disputes among some members.
“You know, in this country it amazes me the way people roll around purely for their selfish ends, saying ‘I am this or that.’ That’s quite something. So what has he done? Telling us on the eve of the convention that we should go and form a caretaker committee. You know, I totally disagree with him,” he said.
According to him, the PDP’s core leadership structure remains intact, noting that most members of the National Working Committee (NWC) support the scheduled convention.
George described what he sees as reckless behavior within the PDP, arguing that such conduct dishonors the legacy of the party’s founders.
