Atiku vs Wike: Bodey George calls for calm as PDP crisis worsens

Bode George, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the Southwest has called for calm as the crisis currently rocking the party takes another dimension.

George called on angry members of the party to sheathe their swords for the benefit of the opposition party.

George, who urged the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to reach out to aggrieved persons, also pleaded with the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, to continue to show interest in the party’s affairs.

The PDP also urged the party’s National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, to honour his promise and resign.

Speaking at a press conference held at his residence in Ikoyi, Lagos, George said, “Ayu once said if the presidential candidate should emerge from the North, he’ll resign. I want to take on him for his word. Why are you now trying to reverse the role? Your word must be your bond.

“However, I appeal to all sides to sheathe their swords.

“It’s absolutely necessary and makes a lot of sense for the candidate who wants to wear the big crown, Atiku Abubakar, to start the networking of people and multiple congregation of efforts that’ll make the party succeed.

“I urge Ezenwo Wike to maintain an abiding interest and fidelity to the PDP, which is the best in terms of national outlook, format and reputation.”
