A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party, Chief Bode George, has slammed individuals implying that the PDP has lost relevance.
George, in an interview on Channels Television on Monday, described individuals with such claims as “first-class dreamers”.
He noted that the PDP is more organised and has a stronger structure than any other political party in the country.
Reacting to claims that the PDP lacks the capacity to pull up a strong fight following an exodus of defection from the party, he said, “No way; those are dreamers. I’m telling you they are first-class dreamers.
“In political management, ownership structure, camaraderie, what we have in the PDP, they don’t have. Why do I keep calling our party the Iroko political party of Nigeria? Because the taproot is so deep-rooted.”
George added thet the party has resolved its internally crisis and is now united, and it’s looking forward to 2027 general election.
“Let me reassure Nigerians that there’s no organisation in the world where you won’t have a crisis,” he said.
“If you have disagreements, the more sensible thing to do is get back to your family, lock the doors and tell yourself some truth, debate and discuss, but in the end, you must come out united, and that’s what we’ve achieved.
“From July 1 till 2027, we will never have this kind of experience in our party. We are telling everybody, welcome back home, and your house is ready to receive all of you.”
