George who was speaking at the General Assembly of PDP in Lagos yesterday in an address titled: ‘PDP: A new beginning, a new revival’ said the party’s failure to win the last governorship election in the state was caused by agent provocateurs within the PDP rank.
He, however, praised the courage of many members of the party saying even with the desperate game of back-stabbing and deliberate treachery, the party still scored the best result ever since 1999.
“Despite the crude treachery from within, we still fought a good fight; we can hold our head high. Our party members were largely loyal and dedicated.
They worked for a good cause. They labored tirelessly. They were men and women with vision and solid dedication”, he said.
George said the greatest challenge of Lagos PDP has always been indiscipline.

“People don’t obey the rules of the game. People invent their own rules. This cannot continue. Nobody is above the constitution of the party. We must either conform with the strict adherence to the normative pattern of party rules or we ship out. There will be no exemptions. The party is supreme.
“We must begin now with a new attitude of respect for the rules and authority. Whatever we have all agreed upon must be binding on everyone regardless of status or rank.
The former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olabode George, has vowed that the party in Lagos state will never tolerate agents of destruction in its fold again.
“It is in this spirit that I want to restate clearly here and now that our party, the Peoples Democratic Party, has always frown upon groupings, caucuses, provincial alliances, village clubbing, hamlet association or whatever you call it!
“Enough of all these so called groupings. It is unhealthy. It is divisive. It does not build a healthy and strong national party. It is parochial and destructive”, he further said.
He said all the caucuses and groupings should pack up forthwith and fuse into the integral body of the party saying ‘PDP is our truly uniting body. It is our unifying strength and our great beacon of solidarity’.
He urged the members to move forward with the same vision, with the same attitude, with the same spirit and the same resolve saying “we will start anew with a sense of renewal and a sense of reinvigorated mission.
Speaking while delivering his welcome address at the occasion, the state chairman of the party, Capt. Tunji Shelle commended members and leaders of the party for their steadfast.
He said the APC that came to power in May 2015 has not been able to do anything for the people of Nigeria.
He said since APC came to power nothing has been achieved adding that with no economic team, the party in power has lost focus.
He said though the APC led Federal Government is said to be fighting corruption but it has failed to fight the corruption at its backyard.
