Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George, has taken a swipe at some chieftains of the party who have aligned themselves with the opposition coalition on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), accusing them of double standards and betrayal.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday, George specifically called out former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the Chairman of the ADC coalition, Senator David Mark, alleging that both leaders were part of the architects of the internal crises that have plagued the PDP over the years.
George warned those still claiming to be PDP members while actively participating in the ADC coalition to make their positions clear, insisting that no one can serve two masters.
“You can’t serve two masters, as stated in the Holy Book. You either serve A or you serve B. But to say you are in A and B is a fallacy,” he declared.
The PDP stalwart described the ADC-led coalition as lacking in strategy and ideology, insisting it could never match the stature and influence of the PDP.
“It is nothing but existential imbecility, or sometimes what is called existential docility. What is it that they are all going there for?” George queried.
He urged aggrieved party leaders to remain within the PDP and resolve internal disputes rather than abandoning the party that built their political careers.
“This is your father’s house. The house made you, brought you to the limelight. You gained every laurel and recognition from this same house. And because there’s a little crisis, is leaving the cultural thing to do? No — you sit in there,” he admonished.
The PDP leader also dismissed the credibility of the ADC coalition, saying it lacked both a clear concept and a workable strategy.
“Do they have a concept? What is the strategy they have? That is a classless strategy,” he said.
The comments come amid growing political realignments and opposition coalition talks ahead of the 2027 general elections, with several political heavyweights reportedly seeking alternative platforms to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
