Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George has said the party appears now bent on self-destruction by allowing money moguls to dictate the choice of its leaders.
Chief George who withdrew on Friday night from the Chairmanship race at the National convention even after being cleared to contest also hit out at the party for not micro-zoning the office of the national chairman, saying the convention has been monetised.
He also accused Nyesom Wike, the Governor of Rivers State, of allegedly making disparaging comments about the South-West and demanded an apology.
He said, ” It is in this spirit and clarity of selfless engagement that I decided to run for the National Chairmanship position of our great party. I did not enter the contest for any personal benefits. I did not throw myself into the fray because of some pecuniary benefits”.
“I have come to serve. I have come to offer myself because I believe in the greater glory of our party and in the growth and development of our nation.
