A Board of Trustees (BoT) member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George, has said the party is too divided to provide opposition to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

However, he defended his decision not to serve on the party’s disciplinary committee, saying it is lopsided.

The former national vice chairman said the party leadership should have set up a post-mortem committee to discuss the reasons why the party lost before they inaugurated the disciplinary and reconciliation committees last week.

George, a Disciplinary committee member headed by Chief Tom Ikimi, said. In contrast, his decision not to serve on the committee doesn’t mean he is degrading the party; the “chairman and secretary are from one side. We must be fair.”

Speaking on the TVC politics programme yesterday, he said, “We must set up a committee to review on the pre-, during and post-election on why we lost the election, after which a special committee with experienced members would be formed to address issues”

He said the post-mortem should have been discussed long ago, lamenting that the party barely held meetings after the election.

Stressing that the party cannot provide the needed opposition to the ruling administration, he lamented that the party is currently divided into three groups, led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, and the PDP governors have their group.

While he noted that none of the groups owns the PDP enterprise, he urged all sides of the crisis to “calm their nerves. We can get back to the table and discuss this at length.”

He, however, urged all participants to drop their ambition.

In a veiled reference to Atiku, George urged party leaders to emulate President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the race because of his age.

“When you get to a certain age and class, you hand over to the younger generation,” adding that no individual can be more significant than the nation. People are perpetually asking that they want to be president at all costs. Your input should be Nigeria first,” he said.
