A former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George has reacted to claims by Governor Nyesom Wike that the party would suffer if he leaves.
The Governor, had during a statement on Monday said, he is an asset to the PDP and that if he leaves the party will suffer greatly.
But, Bode George in a swift reaction on Tuesday, said Wike’s departure cannot make the party suffer, as a tree cannot make a forest.
He described Wike’s comment as unfortunate and uncalled for, adding that he wants to believe he never made such a statement.
“To me, the PDP will never suffer if an individual leaves. Some founding fathers labored to make the party what it is today. Now, the likes of Wike are in charge. Wike too will leave someday and others will continue from where he stopped.
“That statement from him is most unfortunate and it is uncalled for. He should know that a tree doesn’t make a forest. If the founding fathers of PDP had said such things then, will Wike be governor under PDP platform today? I want to believe he never uttered such a statement. Maybe he was misquoted,” part of the statement read.
