Wike: PDP only interested in reconciling its members not sacking – Bode George

By Lateef Ibrahim

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Bode George has said the party is working on reconciling its members including the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
George said PDP does not want to start firing because it would reconcile all aggrieved members.
Wike fell out with the PDP hierarchy during the presidential election in 2023.
The minister and his G-5 group chose to work for other presidential candidates other than that of PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
Wike’s action had brought a serious divide in the party with his insistence on Southern candidate leading to the removal of former National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu.
However, George said the party is working to settle the rift created from the last general election.
He spoke against the backdrop of Wike attending PDP National Executive Council, NEC, meeting despite serving under the All Progressives Congress, APC, government.
Appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today, George said: “There is a standing committee. They are going to add more members to do a post-mortem analysis.
“We don’t want to start firing because there are one or two people that are still thinking about the past. The party must move on.
“It is an issue in the party. It should not be resolved in the marketplace,” the PDP chieftain said, insisting “We are going to settle our own matters like a family.”
