2027: If you don’t allow Nigerians to decide and you rig, we are heading to hell – Bode George tells INEC
Former PDP Deputy National Chairman, Bode George, has cautioned the incoming INEC Chairman against manipulating the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking in an interview with Arise TV, George said Nigeria would be “heading for hell” if INEC imposes a president instead of allowing citizens to freely choose their leader.
On speculations about former President Goodluck Jonathan’s possible return, George stressed that such decisions rest with Nigerians and would be determined at the PDP’s national convention.
He said: “Firstly, I want to plead that the new chairman of INEC must come with a conscience. Because if you don’t allow Nigerians to decide and you impose, we are heading to hell. Let the will be decided by the people who they want. It is simple.
“Look, if you heard me at the beginning, I said the party has decided, the last meeting we had, that affirmatively, the next presidential candidate of the party must come from the South. Where is Jonathan from? Is he not from the South?
“We are not barring anybody else from the South to compete. And I said that in our party, we will go to the national convention where anybody from the South who wants to carry the flag of the PDP, they will compete.”
