In his words, “It’s time to calm down and act as an elder. I urge you in the name of Allah to step aside and leave the stage for posterity.”
George also expressed concern about the challenges facing the PDP, attributing them to selfish interests among party members. He described the party as a “shadow of itself” and criticized some members for allegedly collaborating with the ruling APC ahead of the 2027 elections. He called for unity and decisive action to restore the party’s integrity before the upcoming National Convention.
