Bode George Affirms PDP's Strength Ahead of 2027 Elections

On November 3, 2023, Bode George, a chieftain of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), delivered a speech at the party's national convention in Ibadan, expressing optimism about reclaiming political power in the 2027 elections. He asserted that the PDP remains a formidable political platform across Nigeria, stating, "no coalition is greater than the party." George criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC), alleging that it is a coalition of "strange bedfellows" and accused its members of pressuring others to defect.

He emphasized the importance of internal democracy within the PDP, citing the recent conduct of ward and state congresses as evidence of the party's democratic processes. George also warned against the APC's attempts to undermine the PDP and expressed confidence that the party would restore Nigeria's standing globally by 2027.

He concluded by urging party members to remain hopeful despite current challenges, referencing a viral video of former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike criticizing the PDP.
