Chief Bode George who slammed Governor Fayose for saying that PDP elders must take the backstage in the party's affairs, has described the governor as an ingrate for saying
that he would not support him to become the national chairman of the party.
Speaking in an interview with us correspondent on Monday, Chief Bode George, a former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has described Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose as an ingrate for saying that he would not support him (George) to become the national chairman of the party.
It was reported that while speaking during an interview with Channels Television on Sunday, Governor Fayose, blamed the loss of the 2015 general election on the elders of the party.
The Ekiti governor had said,
Quote
"Chief Bode George told me personally that he wanted to be the national chairman of the party, I told him no, that I won’t support him. With all due respect to the elderly people in this party, they must take the backstage. People are tired of seeing the same old faces again."
Chief George has slammed Fayose for saying that PDP elders must take the backstage in the party’s affairs, adding that Fayose was opposing the interest of the South-West in the party, and that his comments showed that he was an immature politician.
While stressing that the party needed experienced and matured leaders to pilot its affairs, George said age was not a barrier to good leadership but an asset, adding that the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, was older than him.
He said if the chairmanship position was eventually zoned to the South-West, he would consult with family and friends on whether or not to contest, adding that politics was not a do-or-die affair.

"The kind of chairman the PDP needs is someone that has integrity, one that is trusted and established. Fayose spoke very immaturely during the interview. For him to have said that the founding fathers of the party should take the backstage in the party’s affairs was very disgusting and self-deceitful.
"I actually told him at an old meeting of the party that if the chairmanship of the PDP was zoned to the South-West, that I would show interest. He told me he had heard.
"Fayose is an ingrate because when the world was against him during his first term in office, God used me to give him support. I contributed N250,000 to purchase his campaign clothes. We must defend the interest of Yoruba because we have been sidelined in the party’s leadership for too long. Fayose and Senator Buruji Kashamu cannot continue to decide for the Yoruba people in the PDP,"

Chief George also said Fayose lied that South-West PDP leaders did not show interest in contesting the national chairmanship position, adding that Fayose’s claim that he reached out to Senator Bode Olajumoke to contest the chairmanship position was not true.
Quote
"Fayose claims to be a Christian. Let him go and read the book of Micah, chapter 7, from verse 1-10 to learn more about leadership.
Many people showed interest from the South-West, even Prof. Tunde Adeniran showed interest. Bode (Olajumoke) knows that Fayose is playing around. Bode and I discussed because we are friends,"
