A former Chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees, Chief Bode George, has rejected former Senate President Bukola Saraki’s call for the formation of a caretaker committee for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
He said the Saraki’s counsel was “arrant nonsense,” adding that no genuine PDP member would call for the postponement of the convention.
“What is Saraki saying? That is arrant nonsense. Delegates have started arriving, and tomorrow (today), the Lagos delegates will leave for Ibadan,” he said.
George also accused Saraki of involving the suspended National Legal Adviser, Mr Ajibade, and questioned the call for a caretaker committee. “We are going on with our convention,” he affirmed.
According to George, anyone who drags the PDP into unnecessary conflict was free to leave. “If they want to leave, they should go. The babas who founded this party and handed it over to us will be turning in their graves now,” he added.
