Atiku-Wike Conflict: Bode George Calls For Peace Among Factions

A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Bode George has sued for peace in the party amid the issue between Atiku Abubakar and Governor Nyesom Wike.

While urging the party's presidential candidate to placate aggrieved members, George pleaded with the Rivers State Governor to show his interest in the PDP's affairs.

Addressing the party's National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP Chieftain told him to honour his promise by resigning.

“Ayu once said if the presidential candidate should emerge from the North, he’ll resign. I want to take on him for his word. Why are you now trying to reverse the role? Your word must be your bond.

“However, I appeal to all sides to sheathe their swords.

“It’s absolutely necessary and makes a lot of sense for the candidate who wants to wear the big crown, Atiku Abubakar, to start the networking of people and multiple congregations of efforts that’ll make the party succeed.

“I urge Ezenwo Wike to maintain an abiding interest and fidelity to the PDP, which is the best in terms of national outlook, format and reputation", George said.
