George said power rotation must be sacrosanct ,adding PDP should have learnt its lessons from the defeat of 2023. George, a PDP Board of Trustees member, said that power rotation, as embedded in the party’s constitution,was to guard against any situation that might bring back the military to power. He added: “They agreed that every eight years, all the positions held by northern zones should come to the south zones, vice versa for rotation.“The moment we started tinkering with that idea officially against our grundnorm, that was what created division in PDP.”
He said that after President Buhari had spent eight years, it was normal for lovers of justice and fairness to recognise that it was the turn of the South to use same two-term tenure.“This is because if you add the votes garnered by Mr Peter Obi of the Labour Party, Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso of New Nigeria People’s Party, and those of Abubakar of PDP together in the 2023 general elections, the PDP would have won.
