A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, says he can stabilise the party if voted to become chairman. He made the remark in Abuja on Friday
after collecting PDP chairmanship nomination form for N1 million at the
party’s temporary secretariat.
He said, ”if people vote for me, I look forward to stabilise the party and put it in right position”.
“The ruling party should get ready for serious engagement because we have started a cohesive battle ahead of 2019,” George said.
According to him, PDP is not down and
out. It will rise again. With the right leadership, defectors will
sheathe their swords and return.
He said although the PDP was undergoing
turmoil, he would stabilise it as he said was known for his ability to
resolve problems, if he becomes the chairman.
”It takes an experienced captain to stabilise a ship hit by tornado and if you know the crisis in PDP, that is the position the party is facing right now.I am happy that all is not lost, and the condition has been enhanced, zoning has gone extremely well. I have paid my dues in this party and I shouldn’t be afraid of anybody.This job requires commitment, determination; it requires justice and fairness. They know me, what we cannot defend we cannot go for.Trying to come back is like looking back, we are lucky we got a bloody nose not a technical knockout; we will rise again.Everybody will have to come on board even those of our friends who were angry and left for the APC; they are tenants there because they were landlords in PDP.If we are lucky and we get the right leadership who is fair and just and committed in the party, they will come back,” he contended.
The convention is billed to hold on August 17 in Port Harcourt.
