Chief Bode George, PDP Chieftain
A member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, BoT, Chief Bode George, has expressed shock over the defection of Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
George, who spoke on Tuesday while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television, said he never saw it coming.
NewsBits recalls that Governor Mbah defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Tuesday. There were several interventions by party elders to stop the governor from defecting, according to George.
“I never saw it at any time. In fact, when Anyanwu was brought back as secretary to complete his assignment, he asked his people not to attend meetings,” he said.
Meanwhile, the PDP has said it remains resilient and driven by its grassroots strength despite recent defections and internal disputes.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, said this on Tuesday, while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.
“When a governor defects, it’s a concern, but the strength of the PDP is not in governors — it’s in the people. If the PDP is dead, why is everyone so interested in it,” he asked.
