A prominent figure in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George, has urged Rivers State Governor Similaye Fubara to stay within the party.
George made this appeal during an interview on Channels TV’s “Politics Today” program.
He expressed confidence that the PDP would resolve its internal issues and continue forward as a political entity, while also stating that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s actions in Rivers State were constitutionally incorrect.

When asked about the speculation that Governor Fubara was considering joining the APC, George said, “This man has not reacted negatively. He has been going around to calm people, telling them that they should relax. I will plead with Fubara to remain steady on his course. He should remain solid on his course and with the fear of God in him, whatever God has decided will come to pass. You don’t need to jump. Let us look at the political parties. Here is our own party. We have a structure. We have a national chairman, national secretary, national organizing committee, national women leader.”
However, George also stated that those wishing to defect should be allowed to do so, and that the PDP would not collapse as a result.
He said, “Let those who want to decamp do so. People has started to react. Go and visit Rivers State and see the reaction from the people. We did not vote for you to go to APC. You have declared you are moving to APC. It’s not the first time we are seeing it. They think that all is not well with the PDP. Let us wait. The Iroko tree is not that kind of political tree that can just fall down. No, it has deep roots.”
