Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, said the Labour Party, LP, was formed out of anger.<\/p>\n

To this end, George said LP lacked the structure to win national elections.<\/p>\n

Addressing journalists, he called on the 2023 LP presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to return to the PDP.<\/p>\n

According to George: \u201cThe Labour Party doesn\u2019t have the root. I have traversed every state in the country, there is nowhere you will not know or hear about our party, because it carries the full colour of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LP was a movement; they don\u2019t have a solid root. LP came out of anger, it doesn\u2019t have the kind of root we have. LP is a wind. Where was Obi? We can still talk to him, if he wants to.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no iota of tribalism in my blood. I stand to fight for inclusiveness for all Nigerians in the political process of this country and especially in this party where some of us have suffered great injustice for the fight of equity and justice for all.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs leaders of the party, we must not pander towards ethnic affiliation because PDP is the only true national party.\u201d<\/p>\n
