Bode George Slams Atiku, PDP Over ADC Coalition: "You Can’t Serve Two Masters"

Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Deputy National Chairman Bode George has mocked party members in the opposition alliance led by the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

George stated on Friday's Sunrise Daily program on Channels Television that it was intolerable for PDP members, including Atiku Abubakar, to be in the party while supporting the coalition movement. 

The Holy Bible says that you cannot serve two masters.  You can choose to serve A or B.  However, it is a fallacy to claim that you are in A and B, George stated.

He charged that the internal disputes that had beset the PDP mainly were the result of Atiku and David Mark, the former Senate president and chairman of the ADC coalition. 

George rejected the coalition led by the ADC, arguing that it lacked the unity and organization necessary to be a legitimate opposition force.

According to him, it is merely existential imbecility, or occasionally referred to as existential docility.

For what reason are they all going there?  This is the home of your father.  The mansion elevated you to a position of prominence.  This is the same house that has given you all your honors and praise.

Is quitting the cultural thing to do because of a minor crisis?  No, you remain there.  Do you run out of options if your home leaks?  No, the landlord is you. 

Are they working on a concept?  What is their plan of action?  That approach lacks class.

The PDP leader also referred to the crisis's origins as the circumstances surrounding the party's presidential primary ahead of the 2023 general election. 

"General Buhari had just been in office for eight years when we held the last convention.  Atiku Abubakar then expressed interest in competing, but we turned him down because he was from the North and had just completed eight years, he stated.

 "In the South, we had Peter Obi.  The problem started at this point.

 Iyorchia Ayu, the party's national chairman at the time, and Mark, the convention's chair, should be held responsible for the consequences, George added.

You can't get away with doing stuff like that, of course.  At that moment, I cautioned against it," he continued. 

Coalition members declared the ADC as their 2027 election platform on Wednesday.

Among the prominent PDP members in attendance were former Sokoto governor Aminu Tambuwal, former Kogi senator Dino Melaye, editor of Ovation magazine Dele Momodu, former Benue governor Gabriel Suswam, and former PDP national chairman Uche Secondus.
