George said the party is being embarrassed by the open display of affinity by the duo to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olabode George has asked former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike to leave the party immediately.

According to him, the duo must leave PDP immediately over alleged anti-party activities.

In a statement on Wednesday, in Lagos, George said the party is being embarrassed by the open display of affinity by the duo to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

He accused the two PDP chieftains of hobnobbing with opposition elements, saying they could not continue to claim membership of the main opposition party with their recent actions.

“What exactly is going on? Anybody who is tired of PDP should leave and join another party. Enough of this embarrassment.

“As a founding elder of this party, I will not watch while some people openly disrespect the party. It is impossible,” he said.

The elder statesman queried why Atiku, along with others, visited former President Muhammadu Buhari in Kaduna, faulting what he called the open endorsement of President Bola Tinubu by some PDP governors and PDP leaders ahead of 2027.

George also criticised the involvement of Atiku in the coalition to unseat Tinubu, stressing that if Abubakar is working on a coalition with others because of 2027, he should do that outside the structure of the party.

Speaking on current economic challenges, George advised Tinubu to create a Special Fund account where Managing Directors of banks will deposit, at least, N20 billion each annually to alleviate the suffering of the masses.

He alleged that bankers were part of the professionals who created economic hardship in the country.

George queried the source of the billions of naira declared by banks as profits yearly.

“There is what is called round-tripping. There is also insider abuse, hidden and fraudulent charges. All these are targeted at Nigerians.

“You can’t see a bank MD in the U.S., United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, United Arab Emirates in private jets every other day.

“Here, our Bank MDs not only charter private jets but own jets. Where are they getting the money from to maintain this type of luxury and lifestyle?

“The government must look into this. Now that Tinubu is trying to lessen the burden of Nigerians, these bank MDs should be made to pay not less than N20 billion each into this special intervention fund account,” he said.
