A former Deputy National Chairman
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olabode George, has urged the
leadership of the party to be cautious of those who would hurriedly defect to
the All Progressives Congress, APC, shortly after the presidential election.
George also said he had no
objection to the decision of the party to challenge the outcome of the
presidential election won by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking with newsmen yesterday,
the Lagos PDP leader expressed rage at the way some PDP members hurriedly
cross-carpeted.
He described the development as
“absolutely sacrilegious.”
He said politicians should
refrain from displaying “attitude of prostitutes.”
George urged politicians to
always stand on the side of principle, dedication, loyalty and commitment to
the party.
According to him, he had remained
consistent in the PDP despite his failed bid to become the national chairman of
the party.
He said he believed a genuine
member of the party should “sink and swim with the ship” by remaining faithful
with the party in thick and thin.
The PDP chieftain queried:
“Within a week, I see people already jumping ship. Where is loyalty, where is
dedication?
“The party is going to be very
conscious now of such characters. They didn’t even wait. The party is in the
course of redeeming what they believe is right before the judiciary, you have
jumped ship. If tomorrow the judiciary reverses it, what will happen? You will
jump back?”
According to him, the party must
do a post-mortem analysis after the elections with a view to reviewing the
likely mistakes made and charting a way forward.
