Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has urged members of the party to respect its hierarchy irrespective of the contribution they have made. George lamented that some party stalwarts see the party as their personal empire due to selfish reasons. “That made the PDP the foremost national party in the history of this country. The PDP chieftain insisted that the manner in which the PDP left government had a negative impact on the workings of the former ruling party. “But the moment we left the government, some people because of their personal ambition, refused to take orders from the National Chairman or the National Working Committee, they now saw the party as a personal empire for them.
