A former Deputy National Chairman (south) of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, says Nigerians are waiting for the opposition party to rescue the country from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2027.
George made this statement in Lagos on Thursday at a press conference organised to mark his 79th birthday.
He said some desperados are undermining the party’s leadership efforts to foster a sense of belonging among members.
The elder statesman described the situation as disheartening and pitiable, alleging that some pretentious members are already working with the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.
“They have one leg in PDP and another leg in APC. Such chameleonic characters are the ones trying to dictate the direction of this party.
“In the name of everything that is dear to our great party, this pretension must be stopped immediately by patriotic members of this party.
“Since the first elective convention of our party in 1999, when PDP was handed over to some of us as national officers, we have never had it this bad.
“If the PDP must rescue Nigerians from the vicious grip of APC in 2027, this must be a major agenda during our NEC meeting in Abuja,” George said.
While condemning disloyalty as a grave offence, the PDP chieftain stressed that the party must capitalise on the opportunity to progress Nigeria.
“Unless we are united, with equity, fairness, and justice being the pedestal for any political decision taken, this party will be heading to disaster in 2027,” he said.
