Wike Says He Has No Regrets Over Blocking Bode George’s PDP Chairmanship Bid

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says he has no regrets about opposing Chief Bode George’s bid to become PDP national chairman, arguing that the position was meant for the South-South at the time. In a statement issued through his media aide, Wike accused George of failing to deliver electoral victories for the PDP in Lagos State since 1999. He said party leadership should be judged by the ability to win elections rather than seniority or status. Wike cited results from George’s former polling unit on Lagos Island, where the APC reportedly defeated the PDP in the 2019 presidential election. He also alleged that George’s criticism is driven by anger over the party’s leadership contest and developments within the Lagos PDP.
