Former deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Chief Olabode George has revealed intentions to quit partisan politics after 2023.
Speaking at a ceremony to honour some elected national officers from Lagos state and to celebrate the successful conduct of the party’s national convention held last week, he said the decision was taken based on advice given to him by his family members, more so that age is having a toll on him.
“I want to quit the leadership position in 2023,I will remove myself from partisan politics, my family members advised me to have more time to myself, my system also does not support running around.”
On whether the decision was taken because he had been pushed aside in the scheme of things, he said , “I am not pushed aside, I am well known and well accepted in the party, I am not pushed aside. I am well known. I have gotten to my political zenith in the party, I have participated in the party actively and that gave me a wealth of experience I want to share,” he said.
He also expressed happiness with the convention, adding that it demonstrated so vividly the great possibilities that the PDP is indeed the party that can break and remove the various afflictions presently halting Nigeria’s democracy.
