Ex-Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, has said that the party will not field a Northerner as its presidential candidate in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.

George stated this on Thursday at a meeting held by the Lagos State chapter of the PDP to celebrate what they described as the party’s restoration.

The elder statesman said any attempt to do so would be insulting to the founding fathers of the PDP.

The former military governor of Ondo State also expressed sadness over the defections rocking the party, accusing President Bola Tinubu of coercing PDP governors to join the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The PDP chieftain described those leaving the party to form a coalition as rolling stones that gather no moss, adding that they would be back to the PDP after failing to accomplish their goals.

“There is no chance that our party will have somebody from the North in 2027. That would be insulting to the founding fathers of the party, many of whom have passed to the great beyond.

“They (those going against the party’s zoning policy) are perpetually dancing on their (the founding fathers) graves because they are being insulted.

“The late Alex Ekwueme contested for the presidential ticket of the PDP but did not win. However, that did not cause him to collapse the party. That is what you call a God-fearing gentleman.

“On those defecting from the PDP to form a coalition, he said: “I have some advice for all those who have broken away and are saying they are going into a coalition to defeat Bola Tinubu.

“In the meantime, I can tell you confidently that Bola Tinubu and his group are coercing our governors to join the APC. However, the power does not belong to him. People of this country, please open your eyes.

“With all these people running around, a rolling stone gathers no moss. They tried it before, but they ran back. What they are doing is like disowning their father’s house.

“Can you leave your father’s house because it is leaking, and go and stay at a tenant’s,” he asked.
