Tension Peaks As Bode George Heads To Abuja: “I’ll Defend PDP With My Last Breath

A prominent chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, has pledged to attend the party’s 100th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for today (Monday).

According to Punch, the meeting is expected to witness a tense confrontation as internal divisions have led to rival factions planning to hold separate NEC and National Caucus sessions in Abuja.

In an interview with the newspaper, George affirmed his commitment to being present at the meeting, emphasizing that regardless of what the gathering is labeled, his focus is on advancing the party’s interest.

“When we arrive, we’ll settle the matter. Whether they choose to call it NEC, a ‘leg’ meeting, or ‘head’ meeting, what matters most is that we’re coming together. It’s time to face each other and speak the truth without bitterness,” he said.

He added, “Let’s just assemble—call it any name. It’s a chance for everyone to express their views. I’m sure a resolution will emerge. I’m ready; in fact, I’m already at the airport. I won’t sit back and watch the party our founding fathers built be destroyed. I strongly believe this meeting can help us find lasting solutions to the crisis.”
