A life member of the Board of Trustees and former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has described the comments of the embattled party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, as immature and called for the immediate rotation of the party chairmanship to South.
George spoke alongside Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, during the commissioning of Omerelu Internal roads in the Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state, which was duly followed by truthlive.net.
George also called for the immediate address of the power around tussle the party’s chairmanship before the 2023 elections.
“When a serving national chairman of our party is calling elected governors that they are children. Does he think that children don’t grow? Or there is a life perpetual on him? We need to watch our language. It shows to me that it is me that is immature,” he said on Thursday.
George aligned with Wike that Ayu should vacate his position for a southerner to occupy
“We are not begging for it; we demand it because it is our right,” he said.
He argued that it is unfair that the PDP chairman; presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar; and PDP Board of Trustees Chairman, Walid Jibrin, are all from the north.
