Speaking to ARISE News, the PDP chieftain dismissed former Senate President Bukola Saraki’s suggestion that the party establish a caretaker committee, describing the proposal as unnecessary and unconstitutional.
George insisted that the party remained united despite ongoing internal disagreements. “You know, in this country, it amazes me the way people roll around purely for their selfish ends,” he said. “The main party is still solidly intact. We are waiting for the ruling of the court in Ibadan.”
He criticised what he described as reckless behaviour within the party, saying such conduct disrespects the legacy of PDP’s founding fathers.
George specifically pointed to the suspended National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, for allegedly releasing an advertisement claiming the convention had been postponed.
“How many of them are together? Only three out of 19 members of the National Working Committee support the Anyanwu group,” George said, adding that such actions go beyond authority.
