A former Deputy National chairman of the opposition People’s Democratic Party, Olabode George has urged the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar and the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesome Wike to close ranks in order to give the party a chance at victory in 2023.
Speaking in a television interview on Wednesday, Bode George added that with the constant bickering, it appears the devil has infiltrated the party.
“It is a major bother not only for me, it is a bother to a lot of the committed elders and members of the upper chamber of the party.
” It looks like some kind of devil has entered into the midst of our party,” he said.
“We have the capacity to resolve our crisis; we have enough experienced leaders, committed followers, who will sit and be able to resolve this crisis once and for all.
“Unfortunately we have a month and a week before we commence the campaign, my appeal now is that Governor Wike should cool down, presidential candidate Atiku should also cool down because none of their ambition should be bigger and higher than the ambition of our party. We are appealing to both of them.
“Because there is no organisation anywhere in the world that would not have crisis but the capacity and the ability to handle the resolution of such crisis would be a measure of how developed, reliable or respectable that organisation is”, he added.
