Former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, has lampooned the party’s leader in Lagos, Olabode George, saying he lacked the capacity to call for peace.
Obanikoro, who contested for the Peoples Democratic Party governorship primaries in Lagos State, but lost to Jimi Agbaje, was responding to George’s call for peace following the crisis that had engulfed the state chapter of the party after Monday’s election.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Obanikoro accused George of orchestrating the violence that marred the primaries.
Obanikoro said, “Chief Bode George has no capacity for peace and unity in Lagos PDP when he is the major architect of violence and confusion in the first place.
“His call for peace is a desperate attempt to get the attention of President Goodluck Jonathan to take him seriously as a responsible leader of Lagos PDP.
“Unfortunately, Bode George is a man far from anything responsible, peaceful or honourable.
“His introduction of religious bias and sentiment into Lagos PDP by asking delegates to vote for a Christian, instead of a Muslim candidate, is dangerous for the peaceful cohesion of Lagos PDP and totally condemnable.
