George said the development constitutes an obstacle to genuine reconciliation, stressing that the crisis may persist due to the ambition of certain chieftains.
“Elders of the party have to come into the room to resolve the personalized ambitions of people. That is what is killing our party,” he said.
According to the retired Commodore, the founding fathers of PDP, led by the late Dr. Alex Ekwueme, put ethnicity and religion aside while laying its foundation.
George recalled that by dividing Nigeria into six zones and distributing the top six positions in the country among them, the party fostered inclusion and a sense of belonging.
He expressed fear that holding on to personal ambition may create problems of marginalization and exclusion.
George, who also reflected on the state of the nation, urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to restructure the country to foster true federalism.
