Dem dey run go the newly formed African Democratic Congress (ADC), na im cause am to dish out some hot words to the likes of Atiku Abubakar and David Mark.
Bode George, wey chat with Channels Television on Friday, no hold back as e talk say dis whole ADC coalition na serious wahala for PDP. E no just dey laugh, e dey cry for the sake of the party legacy. “You go fit serve two masters? Na wetin d Holy Book talk o. Na either you dey serve A or you dey serve B,” e yan dem.
Last Wednesday, political heavyweights like Atiku, Peter Obi, and Rotimi Amaechi come gather for Abuja to endorse ADC as their new political home. David Mark, the man wey don chop chair for Senate, don become interim National Chairman, while former Osun Governor Rauf Aregbesola dey hold down Secretary position.

Na wetin make people dey look am side-eye for PDP like say dem dey suspect say e wan run gist.
As for David Mark, na die im don finally resign from PDP. Bode George no shy to call dem out, saying them na the architects of the PDP crisis. “E dey pain me for heart like say I lose my house for fire,” George talk. “Dem wey dey jump rope now, dem self contribute for the wahala wey dey inside.”
If you recall, during the 2022 PDP presidential primary, George no dey smile as he accuse Atiku and Mark say dem dey push for another northerner when Buhari don just finish eight years dem self sabi. “At dat time, I tell dem say make dem no do am, but dem no gree hear word,” — na wetin George talk as e throw shade at following politics wey don scatter the party.
George no see any sense for the new ADC coalition to be a big deal. “Wetin dem get? Wetin be their strategy? Na just empty talk wey no get sense at all,” e continue. “If PDP get wahala, why dem go just run away like say dem wan leave their papa house? Na to stay fix am, na wetin dem suppose do.”

Despite all dis wahala, Bode George still believe say PDP fit rise again if dem fit settle their issues inside. “We dey sabi debate and talk things for PDP, that one na our power. We go find way to make am work again,” e conclude with hope. As the political drama dey unfold, e go be interesting to see wetin the next chapter go write for dis jaga-jaga PDP matter.
