‘He has no electoral value’ – Wike mocks Bode

By Omeiza Ajayi, ABUJA Federal Capital Territory FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said he has no regret over stopping Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, former Deputy National Chairman, Chief Bode George, from becoming the party’s National Chairman, describing him as a failed politician who has not won any election for the PDP in Lagos State since 1999.” The minister recounted an incident in which he ed George’s residence in Maitama, Abuja, as a sitting governor, to appease him after the national convention, but was nearly turned away by George’s wife until former Ondo State governor, Olusegun Mimiko, intervened.

In a statement on Saturday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, the minister said Chief George’s political frustration has further been compounded by the emergence of Deji Doherty, a personality he does not want to see in charge of the party in Lagos State.
