A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George, has said he may refuse to vote in the 2027 presidential election if the party’s preferred candidate is prevented from appearing on the ballot. George maintained that the leadership crisis within the PDP remained unresolved despite the publication of presidential candidates’ names by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). George argued that INEC’s publication of a list of candidates did not resolve the legal dispute involving rival factions of the PDP. Asked whether he would support President Bola Tinubu if the PDP failed to secure its preferred candidate, George ruled out voting for another political party. The former PDP Deputy National Chairman also urged Tinubu to ensure that all eligible candidates were allowed to contest freely.
