What Did APC Offer You? – Bode George Slams Defecting PDP Governors In Explosive Rant

Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has condemned PDP governors reportedly plotting to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC), branding their actions as a betrayal of the very platform that empowered them politically.

George’s rebuke comes amid reports that three to four PDP governors are considering joining the APC to support President Bola Tinubu’s anticipated second-term bid.

While Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom has openly thrown his weight behind Tinubu, others — including Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta, Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu, and suspended Rivers Governor Sim Fubara — are allegedly contemplating their political future without making official declarations.

During an interview with ARISE NEWS on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, George expressed deep disappointment in the governors, criticizing them for turning their backs on the party that paved the way for their current positions.

He questioned the rationale behind their decisions, saying:

“What exactly has the APC offered them? We’re operating a system that’s increasingly disheartening and disgraceful. These governors were empowered by the PDP and entrusted by voters based on the party’s vision — now, halfway through their terms, they’re ready to defect? It’s shameful.

The people voted for them because they believed in PDP’s agenda. To now turn around and abandon that trust — for what? In politics, 24 hours can change everything, so why this desperation?”
