George made this disclosure on Thursday while responding to
questions in an interview on Arise Television.

“Lamido knows the procedure. He’s one of the founding
fathers of this party. He didn’t attend the last National Executive Committee,
NEC, meeting.

“In terms of hierarchy, NEC is the next level to the
national convention. Decisions at NEC are expected to be followed to the bone.

“Lamido didn’t attend that meeting. Now, at the end of the
meeting, the date for the collection and returning of the forms was stated. And
he went to the party’s headquarters on the last day to return the forms.

“Lamido is not a young man, he’s my friend and a founding
father of this party. I don’t know all this shenanigans going on all over the
place.

“What the organisers of the convention are trying to do is
ensure a seamless convention. All zonal members attended the meeting except
Lamido.

“Yet, on the day of the final submission of forms, he just
appeared and demanded a form. He must respect the rules,” George said.
