BREAKING: Bode George Reveals Those Who Caused PDP Failure In 2023 Elections

On Wednesday, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bode George, accused certain members of the party’s National Working Committee of being responsible for the party’s shortcomings in the 2023 presidential elections.

George, while addressing journalists in Lagos, also criticized NWC members for awarding the party ticket to individuals with substantial financial resources.

Using the example of Lagos, the former PDP Deputy National Chairman pointed out that the NWC departed from the established procedures laid out by the party’s founding leaders for conducting primary elections and congresses.

He emphasized the importance of reverting to these established processes to enhance the party’s prospects in upcoming elections.

He said, “A typical example is the primaries in Lagos either governorship; they will send people who don’t live here and who have no business here to come and conduct primaries.

“How can somebody from outside know your house more than you by the time they land rather than allowing people to vote, they will be looking for the aspirants and they become their Automated Teller Machine.

“Once they finish, they will run back to the national organising department to affirm the person they supported. But I won’t expand more than that, and that is the major crisis which you see because, if you go to the bottom and do your primaries at the wards and local government levels and create division at that level, how can you fight the outsiders?”

He advocated for the formation of a reconciliation committee to tackle the issues and chart a path forward for the PDP. He emphasized the significance of conducting a comprehensive assessment of the party’s performance in each state during the 2023 elections.

He added, “There should be no short approach; sweeping everything under the carpet is a foolish way to do it.
“We must set up a committee that will go around the country, move state by state, and make inquiries about their experiences, what happened to finances, and the political aspect. How were the primaries conducted in each state? Who did what?”
