FORMER South-West Deputy National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George has said that Senator Iyorcha Ayu must quit as national chairman of the party before the commencement of electioneering campaigns for 2023 general elections.

George was special guest to Governor Nyesom Wike Thursday at Omerelu, Ikwerre Local Government Area for the inauguration of internal roads constructed by the Rivers State Government.

The chief host, Governor Wike on the occasion also attacked Ayu, accusing the PDP Chairman of ingratitude after he and associates helped to return him as Chairman, adding that nothing will save Ayu from being removed.

Bode George said, “The issue of the Chairman of PDP must be addressed before commencement of campaigns for the 2023 elections. It is an antithesis and against the norms and culture of our party that our presidential candidate, our national chairman and the chairman of the Board of Trustee will come from one section of the country.

“Party members from the south are already feeling alienated. PDP if not a private company. So, before we start the presidential campaign at the end of this month, the National Chairman must go to the South. That is what Governor Wike is saying and as a life member of the Board of Trustees of our party, I support this position 100 percent.

“Statutorily, it is the National Chairman who hands over the party’s flag to our presidential candidate. How will party members from the South feel when they see that at all political rallies Southerners have no public political representation.”

“But we can only go back to Aso Rock if we are united and not divided. Some people are abusing Governor Wike, he is a trouble shooter. Those abusing him, as an elder and as a father in this party, I am directing them, they must stop immediately.

“Because Governor Wike is only fighting for injustice, for equity, for fairness in our party. He is not only a strong pillar in this party, but a mobiliser, a financier and an actualizer. Since he joined the PDP, he has not left this party. Am also in a founding father of the party and since 1998 I have not left this party.”

Escalating the heat the party chairman, Wike told Ayu, “You were sleeping in your house, calling me per second, saying my brother, my brother. Today all those who brought you as Chairman are all boys. Nigerians have seen how ungrateful some of you can be.

“And that is why Nigerians are also careful, thinking if you give these people power, how grateful will they be to Nigerians? I’ve kept quiet thinking we will reconcile. Now that you have become arrogant to say, you were elected. Where did you campaign. Where were your campaign posters. Even when we gave you money to print posters, you pocketed it.

“Hire all the media moguls, hire all social media top people, write all you can write, it will not save you. Carry all the television houses working for you, it will not bother me at all. I do what my conscience tells me to do and what is right for our people.

“Ayu said we are children. Yes, the children brought you to be chairman of the party. The children brought you from the gutter and made you chairman. Ayu, you were impeached as Senate president. Ayu, were sacked by Obasanjo in his administration two times.

“Arrogance cannot take you to anywhere. Now, we have seen that you don’t want the party to win election, we’ll help you. When you should instead come out to say, I’m sorry, for the sake of us, he is telling us we are children.

A man who is inconsistent and ran away from the party, telling us who spent our time, had sleepless nights to make sure this party does not go down. Now he has the audacity we are children. We will tell him you’re a prodigal father. A man that was impeached, sacked, ran away from the party is now coming to say, I’m founding member of the party. Then you ran away.”

All to the advantage of Obi.

Corridon:
All to the advantage of Obi.

Tinubu is winning....



pdp is the only opposition party that is moving toe to toe with the ruling party apc on the nation..

If Pdp falls..


Apc just need to be optimistic that all would be well...

All would eventually go.

Only Tinubu has shown political longevity by playing his politics nationally on a grassroots foundation in all nook and cranny.

The same Bode George that won't rest on top Tinubu's matter.

Anyways, it's fast appearing to me as if Ayu is working for Tinubu to destabilize PDP. If he fails to resign, it is all to APC's advantage.

May God protect his people this election time

Ok naa
..
Meanwhile....

PLEASE BRING THIS TO THE NOTICE OF INEC.

INEC should release the detailed analysis, the breakdown, and the categorisation of the accredited voters who came out to participate in the Ekiti and Osun Governorship Elections.
(Just the way they released the details of the accredited voters who Participated in the 2015 General Elections...
https://inecnigeria.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Presidential-Election-Analysis-2015-1.pdf)


We need to study the patterns of the participation in those two elections.

We need to know the number (and percentage) of the youths who came out to participate in the election.
We also need to know the number of “businessmen” and “civil servants” and “artisans” who came out to vote.
..
The information will help us to predict better about the supposed outcome of the 2023 Elections..

Atiku should sacrifice Ayu..

He needs a united force to stand a chance..

Too many battles for PDP going into an election they would have easily won...too bad!

Too much problems in pdp

Ayu should learn to walk delicately on egg shells like the humble fellow below.

Walk delicately in Anambra and save their money in your own personal bank, but live comfortably in Tinubu's Lagos with an infrastructure driven economy.

A true wise man from the East, so would always move Westward.

wike.
the wicked producer

Politicians are greedy, even at old age. Know this, know peace. They only fight for their pocket, not for our best interest.

That still won't save PDP

Presidential candidate and Party chairman from same region in Nigeria of today?

Ayu's will go after the expiration of his tenure in 2024

PDP - Wike Faction
PDP - Ayu Faction
PDP - Peter Obi Faction
PDP - Kwakwanso Faction

I stand with Ayu and at the same time with Gov. Wike

Never ending gbas gbos from pdp members.. At least for once Bode George didn't mention Tinubu

Hehehehe

Una fight just dey start.

Throwback:
All would eventually go.

Only Tinubu has shown political longevity by playing his politics nationally on a grassroots foundation in all nook and cranny.

Gbamsolutely.

Did you know that this post is the 7,311,999th thread on nairaland?

Did you also know that this my comment is also the 116,273,311th comment here?

Nairaland is growing. Generation grow and discover the site, make impact and pass it onto the next generation...

Do you also know that nairaland does not have proper legal structure, is not trademarked and have never filed for company income tax even when they gross over 100million naira annually?

I just too like this Chief Bode George, one of the bold Yorubas. He says it as it is. One of the right ways to pacify Wike is to ask Ayu to vacate that office and that most happen now! Before it's too late.

You are right, it's either he sacrifices Ayu or sacrifice his presidential ambition. He is just marking time so as to get more of Wike's friends and foes on his side.
Wike is a force to be reckoned with not minding his loquacious nature

You don finish Peter Obi and his IPOB supporters in one sentence.

Leave this people let them make their money...

Join me lets start minting PLC ultima and make our own money.

The license fee and total packages is summarized below.

PDP na very useless political party. At a time when you all need to be united, see the division in house. Wike is having his own camp, Ayu his own, Atiku sef get him own, Obi dey one side, Kwankwaso too, one side. And they independently think they can win APC in 2023. Bunch of deluded fools. What is even laughable is that they were predicting that APC will collapse after their primaries. But all their prediction dey fail. APC is more united than ever. No camp whatsoever. All the governors of APC are solidly behind Asiwaju, surprisingly, even El-Rufai that I thought will be harbouring ill feelings. That's a party that wants to win elections. I just laugh when I see Atiku's men shouting that he will win in 2023 or worse still, Obi-dients, with no political structure. Funny people. I won't be surprised if Tinubu has a hand in all these division. The man is too tactical for my liking
