A former Deputy National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Bode George, has accused the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose and his Rivers State counterpart, Nyesom Wike, of being responsible for the leadership crises currently rocking the party.

This is as he predicted that the leadership crisis involving the former Governor of Borno, Sen Ali Modu Sheriff and the Sen. Ahmed Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee may affect the outcome of the forthcoming gubernatorial elections in Edo and Ondo States respectively.

George in a statement signed by his political adviser, Mr. Uthman Shodipe-Dosunmu added,
“This is indeed a very sad period for the People’s Democratic Party.

“The sky is dark and bleak. The party is now at the edge of a cliff, dangling before an imminent plunge into ruin and forfeiture.

“Our party has lost its soul. Our party has lost the fundamental defining logic of its existence, stripped of all the higher values of old like Justice, fairness and equity.

“We had thought that the crisis provoked by the issue of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff would be finally laid to a rest after the conclusion of August 17th National Convention in Port Harcourt.

“We couldn’t be more wrong. Even as millions of well meaning party men and women were planning meticulously to restore our party to the part of decency and the part of probity and restorative sanity, a desperate gang of men had other ideas.”
