The former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George, yesterday pleaded with some selected leaders of the party to bury their differences and come together to save the party from extinction.
George made the statement in Lagos yesterday during a reconciliatory meeting of the party’s elders and stakeholders.
This was the first kind of reconciliation meeting the former Ondo State military administrator would attend after the abysmal performance of the party in the 2023 Lagos State governorship election.
While the Chairman of the party, Phillip Aivoji, was present, the governorship candidate, Dr. Abdul-Azeez Adediran, was absent.
George said: “The honest question we should be asking ourselves today is: ‘Where did we get it wrong?’
“As a life member of the Board of Trustees (BoT), the Upper Chamber and the conscience of our party, my appeal today is to all members, young and old, from the North to the South, that we have another golden opportunity, before the next election in 2027, to bury our differences and put on our thinking caps.
“We should do everything humanly possible to ensure PDP does not go into the dustbin of history in 2027. God forbid this should happen to our party.”
Aivoji said: “Reconciliation is the cornerstone upon which we can build a stronger and more cohesive party. It involves forgiveness, understanding and a willingness to move forward together. Let us embrace reconciliation as a foundation for rebuilding trust and solidarity within our party.”
