Bode George: PDP Has Learnt from Its Mistakes, Party Is Not Dead

Bode George, an elder statesman and PDP chieftain, has said that the party has realized its failure and learned its lesson.
In an interview with Politics Today on Channels Television, George made this claim just after the party’s pivotal National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Tuesday to address the crisis engulfing the PDP.

In his view, the PDP has been revived. The party’s roots are too deep to die, he said, comparing it to an Iroko tree.

He claimed that certain politicians are self-centered and have deviated from the party’s founders’ goals.

“We completed the resurrection today already. George stated, “This party is an iroko tree because the tap root is so deep. An iroko tree never dies.”

“The start of the meetings yesterday and today taught us a valuable lesson.” It brought back memories of our political party’s heyday. I felt rejuvenated as I walked out of the rooms.

“The realization of our shortcomings and actions was the focus of the PDP NEC meeting. “This party is not for one person, and no one can claim ownership of this party,” he continued.

Adolphus Wabara, the chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees, or BoT, urged PDP members to refrain from selfishness and instead practice selflessness, the elder statesman added.
