Bode George supports Wike, insists Ayu must step down for southern PDP Chairman
A former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), South, Bode George, at the commissioning of Omerelu Internal Roads in Ikwerre Local Government Area, Rivers State, chided the PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, over his BBC Hausa Service interview, saying Ayu is “immature”.
Bode George, a member of the PDP Board of Trustees, cautioned that lingering crisis in the PDP on the chairmanship must be resolved before the 2023 general elections.
Bode George declared: “When a serving national chairman of our party is calling elected governors that they are children. Does he think that children don’t grow? Or there is a life perpetual on him?
“We need to watch our language. It shows to me that it is him who is immature.
“We are not begging for it; we demand it because it is our right.”
The elder statesman argued that it is unfair that the PDP chairman; presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar; and PDP Board of Trustees Chairman, Walid Jibrin, are all from the north.
