God likes PDP – Bode George

Chief Bode George, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned that the party should not misuse God’s likeness for it.

He told newsmen in Lagos on Wednesday that the PDP December 9 national chairmanship election should be used to make things right.

“We are at the crossroads and if we take the wrong turn, we may not make it,” the ex-Deputy National Chairman who is set to declare for chairmanship, said.

According to him, “God is giving the party a second chance after its defeat at the 2015 polls after a 16-year rule.

‘’If you’re suddenly hit by a fast-moving train when you don’t expect it, the shock itself is incalculable. We went into a spin and almost lost confidence in ourselves”.

He expressed joy over the leadership crisis which was eventually resolved by the court.

George warned that time was not on the side of the PDP and so cannot afford to experiment at this stage.

“It’s a major decision, not only for the party, but for the entire Nigeria,” he said of the election.

“It is the responsibility of the members to take a deep breath and look at who the cap fits”.

“We are not saying anybody should not contest but because of empathy for the South West, people said it’s their turn,” Bode George added.
