CONVENTION: WIKE, SECONDUS VISIT BODE GEORGE
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and the newly elected
National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus,
have visited a former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Chief Bode George.
Wike and Secondus visited George at his Maitama home, Abuja, to
seek his cooperation following the rancour that followed the national
convention of the party.
George, who was one of the chairmanship aspirants, had stepped
down less than 24 hours to the convention, describing the event as a charade.
He had also lambasted the Rivers State governor for saying the
people of the South-West did not deserve to produce the chairman of the party.
Secondus told George that he would work with everyone and nobody
would feel marginalised in the party.
Confirming the meeting with George to Punch on Monday, Secondus
said the former deputy national chairman of the party remained his boss.
He said, “Yes, we met. Chief Bode George remains my boss and I
will always cherish him.
“I have tremendous respect for him and I will need him in the task
ahead.”
