Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), ‘Bode George, has declared that Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, cannot defeat Bola Tinubu in 2027 without the support of the PDP.
According to George, the Labour Party lacks the national structure to compete with the All Progressives Congress (APC), and only the PDP has the strength and support to defeat the APC in 2027.
However, he emphasised that this can only happen if PDP leaders ensure fairness, justice, and equity within the party.
“I have nothing against Obi. He is from the South, but the truth is, the Labour Party lacks the national structure to withstand Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.
“The only party that has the strength, taproot, and support to defeat APC is the PDP. I also do not believe that Tinubu’s re-election will be as easy as some people assume. He can be defeated in 2027, but only if PDP leaders do the right thing by ensuring fairness, justice, and equity,” he said.
George also made a passionate appeal to Nyesom Wike, urging him to reconsider his stance against the PDP and work towards rebuilding Nigeria.
Additionally, he criticized the Federal Government’s involvement in state politics, warning that it could lead to national insecurity if not addressed.
