Bode George, former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has issued a stern warning to the incoming Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), urging against any attempt to manipulate the outcome of the 2027 presidential election.
In an interview with Arise Television, George cautioned that Nigeria would be “heading for hell” if INEC were to impose a president rather than allowing citizens to choose their leader freely.
Addressing speculation about former President Goodluck Jonathan’s potential candidacy in 2027, George emphasized that Nigerians would ultimately determine Jonathan’s political future at the PDP’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 will compete.”
