Bode George, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader, has voiced hope about the party’s recovery.
George pledged to restore the PDP’s glory days and asked members to remain faithful.
The PDP split when its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, picked former Delta State governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate for the 2023 presidential election.
Following Atiku’s decision, Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike called on the G-5 governors and other party chieftains to seek the resignation of the former party’s national chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.
Their call for Ayu’s removal was to achieve a “regional balance” since he and Atiku were both from the north.
However, George said efforts would be put in place to move PDP forward.
Addressing PDP general assembly in Lagos, George assured that despite what happened during the last general elections, PDP members should remain steadfast as they would not be allowed to go into extinction.
He said: “I urge you all, who have been faithful, to remain steadfast; we would ensure that the party regains its lost glory.”
He assured that, in due course, the national leadership of the party must conduct a “thorough post-mortem to resolve all issues that affected the party.”
