Chief Bode George has said the party needs a man with massive experience as national chairman to enable it to wrestle back power in 2019.
“We are at the crossroads and if we take the wrong turn, we may not make it,’’ the one-time Deputy National Chairman of the party said.
According to him, God is giving the party a second chance after its defeat at the 2015 polls after a 16-year rule.
“If you’re suddenly hit by a fast-moving train when you don’t expect it, the shock itself is incalculable. We went into a spin and almost lost confidence in ourselves,’’ George said.
According to him, time is not on the side of the PDP and so cannot afford to experiment at this stage.
“It’s a major decision, not only for the party, but for the entire Nigeria,’’ he said of the national chairmanship election.
“It is the responsibility of the members to take a deep breath and look at who the cap fits,’’ he said.
“We are not saying anybody should not contest but because of empathy for the South West, people said it’s their turn,’’ he said.
