Speaking on Arise TV’s Morning Show, George urged the party leaders to shield their swords and allow peace to reign.
A founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George has pleaded with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike and the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar to set aside their differences for peace to return to the party.
He made the appeal on Wednesday.
Geroge said Atiku and Wike should allow PDP elders to deliberate in resolving the crisis within the party which started during the build-up to the last presidential election.
Speaking on Arise TV’s Morning Show, George urged the party leaders to shield their swords and allow peace to reign.
According to George: “I want to appeal to the leaders of the various groups in the party that it is time to shield your personal ambition and let us rebuild the party.
“Let the Iroko tree get back because the tap roots are still there and our people outside the country are asking what is happening with the party.
“There is no organization in the world without crisis but it’s our ability to rebuild the crisis. This crisis didn’t stand now; it started from the Presidential convention and nobody was able to manage it.
“We were the founders of the PDP and I will never serve under Ikimi’s committee, it’s not about disrespect.
“Atiku and Wike should calm down and let us go to the elders meeting where we would start this discussion to trace this crisis back to that convention because that was where everything started going in the wrong direction.”
