Doherty said George joined the PDP after the party had been formed and was brought into its leadership structure by former President Olusegun Obasanjo. “I think General Olusegun Obasanjo made one of the mistakes by bringing Bode George into the PDP,” Doherty said. Chief Bode George is not a founding father of the PDP.” “The people that formed the party… Chief Bode George was brought in by General Obasanjo after he became President or just before he became President,” he said. “Obasanjo just gave Lagos to Bode George to manage, and he has managed it in a very poor manner,” he said.
