A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart, Chief Olabode George, has doubled down on his opposition of the party\u2019s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, ambition. <\/p>\n
George is a member of the Governor Nyesom Wike-led Integrity Group, a group of five governors (G5 Governors). <\/p>\n
In an interview with with Vanguard, the former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, said he would not compromise what is right by pitching is tent with Atiku. <\/p>\n
He stated that he would go down in his grave, knowing that he told the truth and he didn\u2019t waiver. <\/p>\n
His words, \u201cThe constitution says this thing must come to the South. Is Buhari from Anambra, Oyo? Is he not from the North? Imagine the millions of votes here and he is abandoning them. You think you are deceiving them. If they like, let them vote for him, I will go down in my grave that I told the truth and I didn\u2019t waiver.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Nigerian electorate understands what is happening. If they know you have the capacity and the ability to resolve this whole problem, they can trust you when you have a bigger problem. When you explain yourself, you will earn their trust. How did you emerge? <\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no absolutism in democracy. All these stories are a load of trash. We solved the constitutional question for him to emerge. I was there. Why can\u2019t we employ the same process for the sake of peace? If we had allowed the Presidency to come to the South, would we be arguing now?\u201d he said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
