Political Dynamics: Bode George and the APC’s Alleged Assembly of Unlikely Allies
Chief Bode George, a prominent figure in Nigeria’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has consistently criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing it as a “congregation of strange bedfellows.”
He argues that the APC comprises individuals with divergent interests and ideologies, leading to internal conflicts and a lack of cohesive governance.
In a recent statement, George emphasized the importance of unity within the PDP, warning that internal discord could lead to the party’s collapse in the 2027 elections.
He urged party leaders to discipline members undermining internal cohesion and to prioritize the collective good over personal ambitions.
George’s critique of the APC as a coalition of incompatible partners underscores his belief that the party’s internal contradictions hinder effective governance.
He contrasts this with the PDP, which he views as a truly national party capable of providing stable leadership if internal unity is maintained.
