In a press conference, George urged Peter Obi, the LP's presidential candidate for the 2023 elections, to consider rejoining the PDP.
George stated, “The Labour Party doesn’t 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.
“The LP was a movement; they don’t have a solid root. LP came out of anger, it doesn’t have the kind of root we have. LP is a wind. Where was Obi? We can still talk to him, if he wants to.
He further emphasized his commitment to inclusivity for all Nigerians in the political process, particularly within the PDP, where he acknowledged that some members have experienced significant injustice in their fight for equity and justice.
He concluded by stating, “As leaders of the party, we must not pander towards ethnic affiliation because PDP is the only true national party.” His comments underscore the importance of unity and inclusivity within political parties, as well as the challenges faced by newer parties such as the LP.
