Bode George: APC Can Be Defeated, It Has No Structure But One-man Show

Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George, has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was beatable because it lacked any real political structure.

George, however, described  the APC  as a “one-man show”.

The elder statesman made the statement on Wednesday during an appearance on a television programme.

While addressing the possibility of a third political force, such as the Social Democratic Party (SDP), emerging ahead of the 2027 general elections, he stated that, “The APC has no structure; it’s just a one-man show.”

George emphasised that any meaningful political alternative must prioritise the people and not personal ambitions.

“What should come first is the people. Then, our attitude to manage the resources of this country for the benefit of the people. Individualism can never solve this. Personal ambition is a very dangerous, stupid approach to problem-solving.

“You must give in to something and must allow the freshness in the minds of the people of this country. Governance is about them; power should be from them.”

He was emphatic on the crisis rocking the PDP, saying, ‘’PDP will resolve its crisis at next NEC meeting.’’

“This thing started like a little sore; now it’s almost like a cancer that spreads. It began with the inordinate ambition of individuals. It didn’t just start yesterday.

“The PDP has a system by which we will resolve our problem. The day we have the next NEC meeting, we’ll resolve our problem. So many people have been interpreting the position, laws, [and] constitution of the party to soothe themselves.”
