Bode George accuses Atiku, Wike of worsening PDP crisis

Amid the crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a chieftain of the party, Bode George, on Friday accused the former presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar, and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, of committing “Harakiri.”

George said all parties should sit together to resolve the crisis ravaging the party.

He spoke on Arise TV’s Morning Show in reaction to Atiku’s claim that the All Progressives Congress (APC) government was behind the crisis in the party.

George insisted that, like the PDP, the APC also has its issues, stressing that Abdullahi Ganduje was imposed as National Chairman.

According to George: “If you want to be a winner in a political setting, your public image is very important. If people are looking at us and asking, ‘Can you trust this person?’ You mean they don’t have any crisis in APC? Of course, they do.

“They have never held any meeting, no National Executive Committee meeting. Ganduje, who is their chairman, has just been imposed.

“No meeting, no National Executive Committee meeting. So, it’s not only us, but for God’s sake, we can resolve our own.

“Throwing tantrums and pushing issues that it’s the APC that is doing this and that is just undermining the issue.

“We must sit down—all sides of the divide. Both Atiku and Wike have committed Harakiri. We must be bold enough to tell them that enough of this nonsense.”
