Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, has warned the incoming Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, against rigging the 2027 presidential election.
George warned that Nigeria will be “heading for hell” if INEC imposes a president and does not allow citizens decide their leader in 2027.
He gave the warning in an interview with Arise Television while speaking on the speculations surrounding former President Goodluck Jonathan running for the presidency in 2027.
The PDP chieftain noted that Jonathan’s fate will be decided by Nigerians during the party’s National convention.

He said: “Firstly, I want to plead that the new chairman of INEC must come with a conscience. Because if you don’t allow Nigerians to decide and you impose, we are heading to hell. Let the will be decided by the people who they want. It is simple.
“Look, if you heard me at the beginning, I said the party has decided, the last meeting we had, that affirmatively, the next presidential candidate of the party must come from the South. Where is Jonathan from? Is he not from the South?
“We are not barring anybody else from the South to compete. And I said that in our party, we will go to the national convention where anybody from the South who wants to carry the flag of the PDP, they will compete.”
