Chief George stated this in an interview with Arise TV on Wednesday.George urged aggrieved members of the PDP to stay put and resolve the party’s problems.
Recall that the G5 — an aggrieved faction of the party — met with President Bola Tinubu at the state house in Abuja a few weeks ago.
Similarly, former governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike, and foremost member of the G5, had also met with the President several times.
The meetings have left the public with speculations that the members of the G5 were considering a defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking on the issue, George said PDP members “must never allow this party to crack up.”
He said, “We are still in court, and everyone still thinks they can win. Until the court decides who actually won the election, it will be a futile exercise trying to bring all sides together.
