A
former national deputy chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP),
Chief Olabode George, has stated that the
fortune of the country is intertwined with that of party.
At a media interactive session in Lagos yesterday, George
however urged the founding fathers of the party to intervene in the crisis
within it, saying doing so means saving the country’s democracy from collapse.
“PDP is the only party that carries the
pan-Nigerian coloration from the swampy forests to the Savannah. Every corner,
you’ll find the PDP,
if PDP collapses, this nation
will collapse,” he said with a call on founding fathers to rescue the party.
According to the former naval officer, the country has
witnessed long span of democratic dispensation due to the pan-Nigerian outlook
of the PDP,
insisting that the stability in Nigeria has been associated with the level of
stability within the PDP.
“Never in the history of the country have we
had a party that is national in outlook. In PDP there is no tribal
coloration. The concept of operations in the PDP has helped democracy
to grow in the country,” he said.
