Bode George Blasts PDP: ‘Highly Depressing And Disgusting To Look At
A prominent chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has described the ongoing turmoil within the party as both depressing and disgusting.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The PDP has been entangled in internal conflicts both before and after the 2023 general elections, resulting in persistent instability. Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, has faced mounting criticism, with numerous party members blaming him for the PDP’s struggles since taking over from Iyorchia Ayu.
Further compounding the crisis is the dispute over the National Secretary position. In 2023, the South-East zone nominated former National Youth Leader, Sunday Ude-Okoye, to replace Senator Samuel Anyanwu, who had been selected as the party’s governorship candidate in Imo State. This disagreement escalated into a physical altercation during a recent Board of Trustees (BoT) meeting in Abuja.
In an interview with Vanguard, Bode George stressed the urgent need for a committee to conduct a thorough investigation into the party’s issues.
“I was part of the BoT meeting, joining via Zoom. I’ve always said that when problems arise, if they’re not addressed promptly, they become cancerous and can consume everyone involved,” George said. “What’s happening between Anyanwu and Ude-Okoye reflects the party’s lackluster approach to conflict resolution. I was disgusted and ashamed that the crisis reached a point where our public image was being eroded. It was a disgraceful spectacle.”
George praised the BoT members for their intervention during the meeting. “For those of us online, once the fight broke out—people punching each other and misbehaving—they cut the feed, so we didn’t see the full extent of it,” he noted.
He explained that the crux of the matter lies with Ude-Okoye, who secured a Court of Appeal ruling in his favor to assume the role of National Secretary. However, Anyanwu subsequently obtained a counter-ruling from another Court of Appeal, ordering that the status quo ante bellum be maintained.
“It’s highly depressing and disgusting to witness such a once-formidable party, a political institution akin to an Iroko tree in this country, being torn apart by personal ambition. It’s deeply troubling for those of us who have been here since 1998. Attempting to resolve this crisis halfway makes no political sense,” George concluded.
