PDP: Crisis Would Be Resolved Only If The Party Hierarchy “Give Unto Caesar What Belongs To Caesar”-George
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Bode George says the internal crisis in the party will only be resolved if leadership of the party would “give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar.”
Answering questions on Arise TV on Tuesday’s Morning Show, George stated that the formation of the party almost 25 years ago, the North Central, which currently holds the position of the national chairman, had predominantly occupied the position of the party’s leadership.
He added, “It is not a solution that cannot be handled. All we are saying is give what belongs to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. Give us what belongs to us. Turn by Turn Nigeria Limited. Take for example, what I am angry about is this, the first chairman was late Papa Solomon from North-Central. The second chairman, North-Central. The third chairman, Audu Ogbe, North-Central. The fourth chairman, my oga, Dr Amadu Ali, North-Central; Baraje, from Kwara, was also North-Central. Now you have Ayu, also North-Central.
“The South-West has never enjoyed this position since the party started almost 25 years ago. What is our crime? If you are telling us you want to rule this country, you have to weave all the tribes and all the people together. That is the major problem, and unless that is resolved, I will not vote for our own candidate.”
