The former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George has urged Atiku Abubakar and Nyesom Wike to do well and leave the party.
Speaking shortly after the defection of the Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori and other key members of the PDP, George said Atiku and Wike must leave the party immediately.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the PDP chieftain said both politicians have continued to embarrass the party with their affiliation with other parties, especially the All Progressives Congress (APC).
George also stated that Atiku and Wike cannot continue to claim membership in the PDP while hobnobbing with the opposition.
George said, “What exactly is going on? Anybody who is tired of PDP should leave and join another party. Enough of this embarrassment. As a founding elder of this party, I will not watch while some people openly disrespect the party. It is impossible.’’
He further said that the party owes Nigerians the duty to bring the desired change by ousting the APC and President Bola Tinubu from power.
He said: “You cannot be within and be working against the interest of this party. We will never allow that. This is the time for our party leadership to wield the big stick because nobody is more powerful than the party.
“The moment we remove the liabilities in our party, we will be in a formidable position, as an opposition party, to take over power from APC at the federal level in 2027,” he said.
