A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, has appealed to Labour Party 2023 presidential candidate election, Peter Obi to return to the PDP.
He made the appeal while addressing journalists on Tuesday.
The PDP stalwart opined that the Labour Party was formed out of anger and frustration, adding that the party didn’t have the needed structure to win a national election.
According to George: “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”
George also said he was averse to tribalism and that he had always champion the ideals of fair play, justice and inclusiveness.
He added that the PDP was the only national party in the country and its leaders must not be seem donning the cloak of chauvinism.
“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.” he said.
