Atiku Would Have Collapsed If He Had Emerged President – Bode George

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Bode George, has expressed concerns about the state of the party and the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.

In an interview on Arise TV’s Morning Show on Friday, George remarked that former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate, would have been overwhelmed if he had won the election and emerged as president.

Speaking candidly about the internal crisis plaguing the PDP, George highlighted the significant challenges the party is facing.

He warned that these issues, if not addressed, could have serious implications for the party’s future.

George said, “What am I looking for? Let us stand by the truth because it is only the truth that would liberate you. When we had that election, we divided the party (PDP) into two.

Ahead of the 2027 general election, Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has said he’s not afraid of any forces in the state.

The governor stated this on Wednesday while fielding questions on Channels TV’s Politics Today programme.

The statement comes amid speculation that he might switch tent to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) following the intractable crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Lawal said based on what they are doing in Zamfara, delivering the good aspect of democracy, he thinks there is no reason for him to fear anybody.

He said: “The truth of the matter is, when I contested in 2023, all these forces were there.

“Remember the first governor of Zamfara State, Sani Yerima, and his deputy, Mahmud Shinkafi, Abdul’aziz Abubakar Yari, and his deputy, then Governor Bello Matawalle and his deputy, and all the senators and members of the National Assembly, they were all in APC when I contested in 2023 and I still won.

“So what difference is it going to make? Now there is nothing really new as far as that is concerned. You see, politics is… we understand the trend, and we are on ground.

“I’m not scared of anybody. God has given me this position, and based on what we are doing, delivering the good aspect of democracy, I think there is no reason for me to fear anybody. It is only God that I fear.

“So what has changed from 2023 to 2027 that you think I will have any doubt or fear of these people? Absolutely no fear as far as that is concerned.

“Like I said, first of all, I am not a desperate politician, and I believe I am a man of principle, and I believe in what I am doing. And for now, in Zamfara State, based on what we are doing, I do not think there is anything to be scared of as far as any forces are concerned.”
