I Am Not Interested In Becoming PDP’s Next Chairman, But Zone It To South West- Bode George

Chief Bode George, a former Deputy National Chairman of   the   Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has disclosed that he is not interested in being the next chairman of the party, but urged the party leaders to do the right thing like their founding fathers have laid, and zone the chairmanship to South West now, because it has been the only zone who hasn’t ruled PDP since 1999...

George who spoke to Newsmen shortly after a trip from overseas in his address entitled, ‘Our Party At Crossroads’, advised the interim National Chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sherrif to honour hi words by handing over to the elected chairman come May 21, 2016.

Faulting the speculations of people who think he will be running for the race, George said;

‘I have no plan, no ambition, slide or straightforward looking for it’. Continue...

Elaborating more on zoning the chairmanship to South West, George said;

“On the issue of national chairmanship, based on the spirit of equity and fairness which is the foundation and principle upon which our party was build by our founding fathers, the South West deserves the national chairmanship now. This is the right and proper thing which must be done. The South West is a significant zone for the Nigeria federation which cannot and must not be treated with levity.”
