That was why we went to war, divided.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if you are setting up a reconciliation committee and a disciplinary committee, let us do a post-mortem analysis that led us to this division during the election. The pre-election, the proper election and post-election matters, should be discussed. After that, we will now be able to set up a committee to reconcile people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are just arguing in their various slots, insulting people and I said, let us look at all the sides. There are three major sides now. We can\u2019t go to war, divided. We cannot. We cannot but take a looking at what happened, who created this? Who did that to avoid the recurrence in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the allegation that he refused to support Atiku because he\u2019s not from his region, George said, \u201cWhen Buhari contested with Atiku Abubakar, they came to ask for my service. I was in the forefront, because at that time, he was favoured as a presidential candidate. I knew what I did in Lagos. I knew what I did, even for the first Lady, his first wife, what we did here because we followed the party\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me tell you, I have no iota of any tribalism in my blood. My best friend today was a gentleman that I met in the military. He is a fully bona fide Fulani man. He is my brother at any level. I have a lot of these friends all over this country. So if you cannot tell the truth to power, then you are deceiving yourself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we went back for second election, last election, we saw that things were not right. Somebody from the North had just spent eight years. How can we now support another somebody from the North for another eight years? No, it doesn\u2019t work that way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey manipulated the system. We kept warning them, don\u2019t do this. He divided the party, and so we divided our votes, and then we lost. So, how do we move forward? We will set up a committee to look into the general election and the post election, so that we can prepare ourselves.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Bode George, member of the Board of Trustee (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has explained why the recently inaugurated reconciliation and disciplinary committees put together by the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":99304,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-114098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
