A member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos has lamented to former national vice president of the party (southwest), Chief Olabode George that the party is bleeding.

Mrs Lucy Otu, who is from Ibeju-Lekki constituency, told Bode George that Lagos PDP is  “bleeding” and that they needed him to come help in uplifting the party.

“Lagos State PDP is bleeding and we believe you will lead us right and get us out of this bondage,” Otu said.

Also, another member of the party Adamoh-Faniyan Gbenga, Lagos Island, hailed the former national vice president (southwest) for all he had done for the PDP and his commitment to and funding the party not minding the situation and mostly his consistency.

He said: “We are grateful that despite the intimidation, the deep pocket, the commitment of funding, the bastardisation of the treasury of the state, you are still consistent,”

“We know that many that were with you from the beginning have left to the opposition party, but you remain consistent.”

George in his response agreed that the party was bleeding and asked where is the discipline?

He went on to say: …when somebody said the party is bleeding, you are right. Where is the discipline? We have a constitution, the dos and don’t.”

“Our representatives, I must thank you for your steadfastness, loyalty, and commitment to the party. The way the party was managed even during the primaries, despite all that, what you have done is part of your commitment.

“Some persons have jumped ship, but you were never afraid, you stood your ground and followed your conscience and for me, there is no other measure to be a proud member than what you people did.”

Recall that on Monday also the Governors elected under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stressed the need for President Mohammadu Buhari to initiate an Executive Bill for the amendment of 1999 Constitution.
