A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, on Wednesday, declared that no individual can own or control the former ruling party.
George said the PDP is not the ruling All Progressives
Congress, APC, that can be controlled by an individual.
He warned that consequences awaits members of the PDP that
are working with other presidential candidates and have refused to turn from
such ways.
Speaking with Arise Television, the PDP chieftain insisted
that the party has rules and norms which must be obeyed.
He said: “There must be rules, there will be laws and there
are also red lines that you must not cross. You cannot serve two masters – a
slave who has two masters will honour one and dishonour the other one. The
Almighty God told us that you can’t serve the devil and the lord our God.
“It’s high time that if you want to be a responsible and
respectable member of this organization, you must obey their laws, if you can’t
stand the heat get out of the kitchen. It’s getting so unacceptable that you
get people that would work for the party here and go work for the presidential
candidate of the opposition party, it’s laughable.
“If you want to be with us, be with us and if you want to go
to the other way, good riddance to bad rubbish. Those who are in APC, have you
ever heard even the smallest being there talking about supporting our party as
against their own? They won’t dear that, so let’s call a spade a spade.
“The rules are there and if you can’t stand the rules,
gracefully get out and if anybody had done it they must come to NEC and tender
an apology or a punishment will be meted out to them.
“We want to present our party to them as one that is
respectable, responsible, and would manage the resources of the land for the
benefit of the people. If you are then not showing that attitude how do we
convince them to vote for us?
“I have said it severally and will say it again, the only
political Iroko party in this country that is well structured and has
organization, we have rules, we the areas where we say don’t do that and if you
commit that offence they will ship you out. No individual owns this party, no
cantrol this party – we are not APC
