“People don’t obey the rules of the game. People invent their own rules. This cannot continue. Nobody is above the constitution of the party. We must either conform with the strict adherence to the normative pattern of party rules or we ship out. There will be no exemptions. The party is supreme,” George said.
Indiscipline is PDP’s biggest problem
George made the comment on Tuesday, March 2, 2016, while speaking at the General Assembly of the Lagos PDP.

“We must begin now with a new attitude of respect for the rules and authority. Whatever we have all agreed upon must be binding on everyone regardless of status or rank.
“It is in this spirit that I want to restate clearly here and now that our party, the Peoples Democratic Party, has always frown upon groupings, caucuses, provincial alliances, village clubbing, hamlet association or whatever you call it!
“Enough of all these so called groupings. It is unhealthy. It is divisive. It does not build a healthy and strong national party. It is parochial and destructive”, he added.

George further urged all PDP members to move forward with the same vision, the same attitude, the same spirit and the same resolve.
