George, a former PDP Vice National Chairman South disclosed this during an interview with AriseTV on Tuesday night.

He made the comment on the heels of the ongoing reconciliatory efforts by the party to appease aggrieved members and supporters who have left the party.

The PDP has never ruled the State of Excellence, as Lagos is widely known since the return to democratic rule in 1999. Past efforts to snatch Nigeria’s Economic capital from the ruling party had failed woefully.

George however stated that the problems that have bogged the party down from achieving its aim of wining elections positions are being addressed, noting that such challenges are normal with political parties.

He explained that the party is now working assiduously to ensure that loyal party members are brought together to win elections for the party.

He cited some reconciliatory efforts being led  by Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state, as one of the pointers that the PDP is now serious about wining election in the country.

He noted, “How did we lose the elections, who were the people who were committed and loyal to the party, who were the other people who didn’t perform, who are the other people who are pretending that they are members of your party when they are working for your opposition?

“This is what we are going through now and I’m very happy that yesterday’s meeting in Ibadan that was chaired by the governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, and with all the other leaders from all the states of the Southwest came out to be a brilliant move.

“It shows that we still have leaders with the ability to rise above the pettiness, the inuendos of those who are struggling to get into positions in the party. You’ve got to work for it.”

Recall that Chief George supported the governorship candidate of the Labour Party, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivor in the 2023 election citing division in the PDP.
