Olalemi noted that Chief Bode George, a former PDP Deputy National Chairman, remains an influential figure within the party despite ongoing internal disagreements. He said George’s experience and long-standing contributions to the PDP make him an important stakeholder in efforts to reposition the party.

According to him, there is a need for unity and reconciliation within the party as preparations intensify for the 2027 elections.

“Chief Bode George is always welcome in the PDP. We have great respect for him and there is room for him within the party,” Olalemi said.

He added that the party regards George as a foundational member whose input is still valuable to its growth and stability.

Olalemi further expressed confidence that the PDP remains united in principle, despite differences among its leaders and factions.
