A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, has allayed fears by denouncing the claim by opposition politicians that the opposition PDP no longer has structure.
This is in the light of his recent appeal to Governor Similayi Fubara of Rivers State to remain in the party and not defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
George made the appeal during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.
According to him, the PDP have a structure and would resolve its issues and move on.
This comes amid rumours that Fubara was considering moving to the APC after Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori recently became the latest sitting governor to officially dumped the PDP for the ruling party.
George said, “This man has not reacted negatively. He has been going around to calm people, telling them that they should relax.

George said, “This man has not reacted negatively. He has been going around to calm people, telling them that they should relax.
“I will plead with Fubara to remain steady on his course. He should remain solid on his course and with the fear of God in him, whatever God has decided will come to pass.
“You don’t need to jump. Let us look at the political parties. Here is our own party. We have a structure. We have a national chairman, national secretary, national organizing committee, national women leader.
“Let those who want to decamp do so. People have started to react. Go and visit Rivers State and see the reaction from the people,” he added.
Fubara is currently suspended as Rivers State Governor. He was suspended a few weeks ago by President Bola Tinubu, who declared a state of emergency in Rivers State following the prolonged political crisis in the south-south state.
Tinubu later nominated Ibok-Eke Ibas as the administrator of Rivers State.
