‘ I’ll leave Nigeria if Tinubu emerges President – Bode George
Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George and one-time military governor of Ondo State in this interview, has said he will leave the country if Tinubu emerges the next Nigeria’s president.
Speaks on the Presidential ambition of former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu in the 2023 general elections and how the PDP is preparing to outwit the All Progressives Congress, APC, during the polls.
The former deputy chairman said;
“Let me remind him (Tinubu) because he is a Yoruba man. In my part of the world, kingmakers are called afobaje. When you are a kingmaker, you do not throw yourself in the ring and say you want to be king.
So, by saying publicly that he is a kingmaker and now he wants to be king, it is a fallacy. As Nigerians, we must challenge and x-ray anyone who throws his hat in the ring because when you come out to campaign, you tell people to trust you with the resources of the country for the betterment of the people.
And so, if you look at his (Tinubu’s) past and all he has done, is he worth throwing tantrums all over the place? It is an insult to us.”
According to him, he will leave the country if Tinubu becomes the next president of Nigeria.
“I will move away from Nigeria, I’ll leave because he will be your representative in the international plain. Which investment will he bring here? I am not talking because I have any hatred for him. This is not the kind of person we can hand over this massive country to manage. He will be the greatest joke on the international plane. We should bother who should lead us.”
He also pointed that those supporting him are those who have benefited from his largess.
