Bode George, a prominent member in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has declared that he will not support Atiku Abubakar as his party’s nominee for president in the upcoming election unless the issue of inclusivity in the party is resolved.
On Tuesday morning, George revealed this while participating in the Arise Television Morning Show program.
Remember that he had backed the demand that Iyorchia Ayu resign from his role as the party’s National Chairman, arguing that the party’s continuing turmoil might lead to its defeat in the 2023 presidential race.
“Until this party returns to the founding fathers’ principles of unity, with equity, fairness and justice being the pedestal for any political decision taken in this party, and ensuring broad-mindedness to accommodate the concerns of all zones in this country, PDP becomes vulnerable to disaster in the 2023 elections,” he had said.
While re-stating his earlier stance, the PDP chieftain said he would not vote for Atiku in the forthcoming election unless the issue of inclusivity in the party is addressed.
“I will not vote for the presidential candidate of our party. Until the issue of inclusivity is addressed. Let them sit down, and think over it. It is not negotiable; every Nigerian is important for this election.”
