Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has made issues with President Muhammadu Buhari’s delay in constituting members of his cabinet.
The opposition party's chieftain disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV 'Politics Today,' asserting the ruling APC has yet to find its feet in the country.
It is wrong to watch people in the same party contesting against certain positions, he said, stressing that the PDP has always been more organized with the way it handles in-party disputes regarding political offices among its members.
“It’s absolutely despicable to watch people in the same party contesting against certain positions. Our party (the PDP), we have a way of handling this.
“And it shows you that this APC party is yet to find its feet in this country. There is only one skipper on board a ship, there is only one captain onboard a ship.
“When you hear the cacophony of voices telling you I am the leader of the party when the President as a member of the party is there, he is automatically the leader of the party,” he said.
Speaking further, George faulted the ruling party over some reported protests by its members ahead of the inauguration of new cabinet members for the President’s second term.
“Have they been able to appoint the ministers? Is it true that protesters went to the Defence House from one group and another set of protesters from another group?” he asked.
When asked if the perceived lobbying is part of the democratic process, the PDP chief said the situation shouldn’t have degenerated into protests by groups.
“When it comes to the distribution of positions to people, it shouldn’t get to that level. It means there is no proper administrative management of the party,” he said.
