Why I supported Calls For Ayu’s Resignation

A former deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Bode George, Today, opened up on why he is supporting calls for the resignation of the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu.

Chief George, PDP Chieftain in Lagos said his support for the call became imperative to ensure balance in the party, adding that such will help the main opposition party convince Nigerians as the right party to vote for during next year’s election.

The elder statesman spoke in an interview session on  Arise TV programme, The Morning Show, saying  that he had been part of the party’s system for a long time and knew what was right for the party.

He said calling for Ayu’s resignation was in line with the constitution, saying the PDP chairman had himself promised to resign from his position if a northerner emerged as the party’s presidential candidate.

According to George, the present arrangement in the party which has the presidential and national chairman positions filled by persons from the north cannot continue to stand.

But explaining the rationale behind his support for Ayu’s resignation on Friday, Goerge said, “Of course, we will have one or two dissenting voices but facts are facts and fiction is fiction. The founding fathers of our party gathered together in 1998 and intentionally look at the problems that have beset Nigeria and came out with a suggested solution that we should divide Nigeria into six geopolitical zones because, in the First Republic, the majority tribe have their way and say. The minority tribes were just onlookers; same in the north and same in the south.

“That created bad friction that led us to all kinds of coups and countercoups and civil war and the incursion of the military into government. We took all of those into consideration and came out with a solution of dividing Nigeria into six geopolitical zones. There are six top positions in the country. The positions are the presidency, vice presidency, senate presidency, speakership, Secretary to the government, and National chairman of the party. Six zones and six positions and so every zone will go home with one of these top positions. In other words, you have removed the friction.
