A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, is of the opinion that the Labour Party (LP) is not strong enough to give its presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi the required victory.
The elder statesman described the Labour Party as “a wind”, adding that the party does not have the root.
Bode George, who stated this recently, however, advised the former member of the PDP, Peter Obi to return to the party.
He said: “The Labour Party doesn’t have the root. I have traversed every state in the country, there is nowhere you will not know or hear about our party, because it carries the full colour of Nigeria.”
“The LP was a movement; they don’t have a solid root. LP came out of anger, it doesn’t have the kind of root we have. LP is a wind. Where was Obi? We can still talk to him, if he wants to.”
“I have no iota of tribalism in my blood. I stand to fight for inclusiveness for all Nigerians in the political process of this country and especially in this party where some of us have suffered great injustice for the fight of equity and justice for all.”
“As leaders of the party, we must not pander towards ethnic affiliation because PDP is the only true national party.”
