Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George has advised President Bola Tinubu to implement the report of the 2014 National Conference in memory of late elder statesmen, Chief Ayo Adebanjo and late Chief Edwin Clark who made appreciable inputs to the conference debates, in the interest of a united Nigeria .
The veteran politician who briefed journalists in Lagos at the weekend, noted that the implementation of the Confab report would go a long way in addressing salient issues like national unity and insecurity etc.
George who harped on the patriotic zeal and wealth of experience of the departed elder statesmen during the confab, said their contributions on the defects in the 1999 constitution should be considered and addressed in the interest of the citizens and the unity of the Nigerian state.
According to him, Chief Clark and Chief Adebanjo fought for a better Nigeria, and they filled the gap between the younger generation and the older generation at the confab, and they were able to to identify areas where successive leaders got things wrong.
“Nigerians deserve to have the report of the 2014 conference, because God used the two elder statesmen to impact on us.
“Let the report of the report of the 2014 confab be released in the memory of Chief Adebanjo and Chief Clark. It is when the report is released that Nigeria will be in peace,” George observed.
He explained that the recommendations included in the report of the 2014 confab will help in liberating Nigeria. ”If Nigeria could liberate other countries, why can’t we also liberate ourselves?” He queried.
Speaking on the implosion in his party, the PDP, he said the National Executive Committee NEC of the party will meet in May 27, 2025 to discuss challenges facing the party and resolve their differences.
“Those who want to bring the party to disrepute should sheath their sword and shut up. We will have NEC meeting on May 27, all the elders of the party who are still alive will be present at the meeting.
“No organisation is without crisis, but what is important is the ability to resolve the differences. We should make sure we follow the party constitution. Those who do not want to stay should go. Those who want to stay should stay. At the meeting, we will tell ourselves some home truths. Enough is enough. It is either you are inside or outside, ” the party chieftain stated.
