EKO HOT BLOG reports that Olabode George, a former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said that the embattled National Chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu, deserves the treatment he is receiving now.

During an appearance on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Monday night, George claimed that Ayu had treated the PDP like his private company.

He said that he had warned Ayu to tread with caution on the crisis rocking the main opposition party to prevent it from collapsing. George further explained that there are certain rules, the fundamentals that established the party by the founding fathers.

He had kept on saying that the way Ayu was treading would be dividing the party and a divided house would be a defeated house.

George also expressed his disappointment in the suspension of Fayose, Anyim and others by the Ayu-led PDP. He noted that it should not have come while the party was still in court disputing the February 25 presidential election.

George added that the PDP is not a private company and he pleaded with them because that was how the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) went under. He said that the ship would not go under and they should wait and allow the courts to finish whatever they are doing. Then there would be a serious post-mortem analysis where they would know who did what and who could be punished.

“He was in too much of a hurry, suspending people as if it was a private company,” George added.

The PDP has been in crisis for some time now, with various factions and interests vying for control of the party. This latest suspension of key members has only added to the instability, with some party members calling for Ayu to step down as National Chairman.

It remains to be seen what will happen next, but it is clear that the PDP needs to find a way to unify and move forward if it wants to remain a viable opposition to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
