A PDP Board of Trustees member, Chief Bode George has called on the Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Iyochia Ayu to honourably resign from the position to save the party from the internal wranglings that have engulfed it in the last few weeks.
While commenting on the present crisis rocking the opposition party, George, who addressed newsmen in Lagos, stressed that Ayu should honour his words by quietly exiting the position.
He, however, urged Governor Wike not to join APC, despite misgivings over the choice of Atiku’s running mate, saying ‘you don’t win all the time.’
Heis words: ‘In democracy, we must talk and exchange ideas. We must agree and disagree without actually being disagreeable. Any organisation with human beings will always have issues but the ability to manage that crisis will be the determining factor.
‘I want to appeal to all sides to sheathe their swords. Nigerians are waiting for us and we must convince them that we can manage the resources of the country in an equitable manner.
