A former Deputy National Chairman
of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Olabode George has described as laughable
the report of his alleged plan to join the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He described the recent claim by
Chairman, Conference of the All Progressives Congress, APC States’ Chairmen,
and Lagos State Chairman of the party, Chief Henry Ajomale, that he (George)
was planning to dump the PDP for the APC as daydreaming.
He told Vanguard that, “Ajomale
must be daydreaming. Like I said, the APC is not a party that is national in
its outlook. It is a contraption. They are in utter confusion. Look at all the
killings in the country today, they are taking place in states controlled by
the APC. The central government is also APC. Where is their party? Do they
believe they are really members of the same family?
“APC is making the same mistake
PDP made when we said we will rule Nigeria for the next 60 years. Nigerians
have experienced governance under both parties. Are they better off now than
when PDP was in government? My great uncle is the late Herbert Macaulay, so I
am a genuine, inroad, in-depth politician because I was born into it. They are
not.”
Speaking on the chances of the
former ruling PDP returning to power in 2019 and the emergence of Third Force,
Geroge said Nigerians were already fed up with the current government led by
the APC.
He summed it up thus, “Third
Force, Seventh Force, Tenth Force, is that the issue? Are the members of this
Third Force going to come from outer space? What are they going to do that will
be different from what they had done before? The hood doesn’t make the monk. I don’t
believe in any Third Force movement. You stay there and repair your house. That
is more honourable.”
