* Says: You’ll receive rude shock of your life
A stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George, has described the presidential ambition of All Progressives Congress leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as a huge joke.
George said this in reaction to Tinubu’s decision to inform the President Muhammadu Buhari of his intention to contest for presidency in 2023.
“This so-called ambition must be a huge joke. The Presidency of Nigeria is not for characters like Bola Tinubu. Look at how he mismanaged the resources of Lagos State. It is surprising that he can even dream of becoming the President of Nigeria. He is living in a dream land,” George said.
The former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP said Tinubu would be shocked by the turn of events and how he will be double-crossed by those he is trusting.
George said the South-West had quality leaders who could produce the next President of Nigeria. He, however, said Tinubu was not one of them.
He said it would be an insult for the South-west, arguably the most sophisticated region in the country, to settle for Tinubu.
George also described as unfortunate that a hallowed ground like the Presidential Villa would be the location for Tinubu to declare his ambition.
Tinubu, who was governor of Lagos State, informed Buhari that he would want to contest in next year’s election.
The former governor lamented that he is tired of being a kingmaker and it is time to actualise his dream.
