- Says APC chieftain is too corrupt to be Nigeria’s President
By Demilade Aderibigbe
Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Olabode George has said Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not qualified to lead Nigeria and is unelectable for the nation’s top job.
George, a former Deputy National Chairman, and a life member of the PDP’s Board of Trustees (BoT) threatened to renounce his citizenship of Yorubaland and Nigeria should Tinubu emerge as Nigeria’s President.
Speaking on The Morning Show programme on Arise Television, monitored by SUNRISE NEWS, Chief George described those campaigning for the APC Chieftain to throw his cap in the ring ahead of the 2023 presidential election as mischievous, asking them to ask Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to provide answers to the many questions dogging his public life for over 20 years.
“Ask Tinubu to provide answers to questions relating to his early life and where he went to school. Let him come up with friends with whom he attended those schools. Let him submit himself to scrutiny regarding to the running of Alpha Beta, the auditing firm through which he has been cornering the revenues of Lagos State.
He said: “How can somebody be collecting N9 billion every 30 days for doing practically nothing and the government has been unable to do anything about it, even despite the petition from the former Managing Director of the company who had to seek refuge outside Nigeria for fear of his life?”
He said Tinubu has been using his humungous wealth to destabilize opposition parties both in Lagos as well as nationally.
“I wouldn’t want to disclose everything we know about how he (Tinubu) does this, but we are aware of how he sponsors people to come and join our party for the purposes of knowing what we are planning as well as causing internal crisis for us as a party to weaken us,” he said.
Speaking on the poor showing of the PDP in Lagos, Bode George wondered how Lagosians are expecting the PDP to win anything where all the machinery are held by Tinubu and his minions.
“In places where we are strong, they attack our people with guns and ensure that our votes does not even count as the votes does not get to the collation centres,” he said
He canvassed for the adoption of electronic voting, saying only the deployment of electronic voting technology would reduce the incidences of winner takes all especially at the local government levels.
