Nigerians Are Too Clever To Allow One-party State Bode George

Chief Olabode George is a former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP. In this interview, George is optimistic that despite the gale of defections rocking the main opposition party in the country ahead of the 2027 general elections, Nigeria cannot become a one-party state.

He also states that the partys NEC meeting will determine the fate and future of the PDP. Excerpts:

It will be well with our party. All I want to ask is this: all those who want the President to return in 2027, what do they want him to come and do? What is the economic situation in the land? What has he done to improve the living standards of Nigerians? There is insecurity, kidnapping, banditry, and killings. How has he addressed all of these? What are the defectors going to look for in a party that has no structure? The defectors are leaving a party that is structured to a place that has no structure.

Is that what Nigerians will vote for? People should do an in-depth analysis of all the parties and take a stand. As far as I am concerned, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori left the PDP because of Ifeanyi Okowa, whom he considers his godfather. We need to copy what they do in South Africa, where the party is supreme. Your party wins elections and nominates you to represent it, but if the party no longer needs you, it can remove you, even as president.
