Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chieftain, Olabode George, has slammed formergovernor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, saying the All Progressive Congress partyleader is responsible for the reported crisis in the ruling party
Bode George, a former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, slammedTinubu for allegedly mishandling the affairs of Lagos State, stating ”his timeof reckoning was near and he’ll vomit everything he’s stolen.”
Bode George was reacting to Tinubu’s statement addressing his purported 2023 presidential ambitionand the crisis that has befallen the APC.
In the statement, Tinubu said he hadn’t made up his mind as to a 2023presidential ambition but was rather focused on helping Nigerians during thecurrent economic crisis caused by Covid-19.
Speaking in an interview with The IndependentNg published on Monday June 29,Chief Bode George said;
“From the very beginning, I used to tell them that the party APC is acongregation of strange bedfellows. When you have a big party like that andsomeone wants to hijack it, there will be problem.”
“First of all, it is a misnomer in a presidential system for a man whois not elected into any position to come out and say he is the National leaderof the party.”
“How is that possible? There is only one National leader of the partyand that is the President. How can a ragamuffin from somewhere just wake up andsay he is the National leader and not the President? What does that mean?
” We saw the way Chief John Odigie- Oyegun was removed as nationalchairman. To me, what is happening to Tinubu is a judgment of God. You thinkyou can appropriate the whole country’s resources like he did in Lagos state toyour own family?”
” It cannot work! I believe nemesis is catching up with Tinubu. Wewarned him but he refused to listen. The Yorubas have a saying that a child whofails to listen to corrections at home will be corrected outside.
“Tinubu thinks he is wiser than everyone but the breeze has blown andexposed the behind of the hen. In Yorubaland, a single person cannot beall-in-all. Tinubu thinks he can grab everything with his teeth but they haveremoved all his teeth.”
Reacting to reports circulating that some of Tinubu’s loyalists are urginghim to pull out of the APC, Chief Bode said;
“That is his decision. I can’t decide for him. He just issued astatement saying he has not told anyone that he wants to become President in2023 and his focus now is how to alleviate the sufferings of the people. Butyou can see what he is doing in Lagos. What about Alpha Beta? Who is stillcollecting the money for Alpha Beta?
” Yet he said he wants to alleviate the sufferings of the people? Lethim bring out all our money in Alpha Beta since year 2000 till date. Themanaging director of Alpha Beta who ran away said they owed him N40b.”
” That money alone would have taken care of millions of poor people inLagos today. Enough of this brigandage and classic example of greed.”
“I have always said Tinubu will vomit everything he has stolen and theday of reckoning is here. Only Almighty God can reign yesterday, today andforever. No one else can attain that height.”
” For me, when you start seeing the signal, if he is a very cleverperson, he will recall himself and have a deep introspection. If he thinks hecan run Nigeria the way he did to Lagos, he is making a mistake.”
“The local government secretariat of Ikoyi/ Obalende was formerly onGlover Road in Ikoyi but he converted the place to his own and moved the localgovernment to Obalende beside the cemetery. He made the daughter the Iyaloja ofLagos. “
“How can Iyaloja of Lagos be from Iragbiji?. Bode asked.
“She, on her part went and locked up Computer Village, insisting that shemust be paid certain amount of money. The son is the one getting all publicadvertisement contracts for Lagos at the moment.”
“You need to see the son’s convoy, you will think it’s the Presidentthat is moving. For how long will this continue? We came into this world nakedand we will leave naked. Nobody will leave with anything no matter how much
wealth you have amassed for yourself while in existence.”
