Former Deputy National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, Chief Bode George, has denounced former Lagos State governor Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s presidential ambitions in the 2023 elections, claiming that Nigeria will be thrown into the gutter. In an interview with Vanguard, George advised Nigerians not to vote for Tinubu in the presidential election, claiming that the APC’s national leader is unfit for the post.
I wish Nigerians luck if they are oblivious to this and choose him as their president. “I’m not going to be a part of it here because he’ll bring the country to its knees,” he stated.
He acknowledged Tinubu’s legal right to run for office.
He acknowledged Tinubu’s legal right to run for office, but warned Nigerians to be cautious. Is he (Tinubu) worth screaming tantrums all over the place when you consider his past and everything he’s done? It’s a slap in the face to us “Added he.
When asked if he dislikes the previous governor, Mr. George replied, “I know a few things about this individual. He has been the governor of my state (Lagos) since 1999, and he has just completed eight years of complete nonsense. As a result, nothing is more personal than the ability to speak truth to power.
As a result, we must keep fighting. Our country needs to get out of its filthy rut and have people with confidence and character who can sell themselves anywhere in the world, as well as people who are devoted to this country. “That’s all there is to it,” he added.
George also stated that he supported direct primaries because “we’ve done it before, which is similar to Option A4”.
The President has agreed to electronic results transmission, but the other arm, direct primaries, which aims to break godfathers’ control of political parties, is still not covered by the guidelines.
“We must do everything it takes, whatever it takes to make democracy flourish,” he declared.
“I want to implore Nigerians to be aware because the country is in a state of hopelessness and helplessness,” he added.
