A former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Olabode George, has said that
he will be contesting to be Nigeria’s president to
challenge the National Leader of All Progressives
Congress, Bola Tinubu, at the poll.
George, who spoke in an interview with PUNCH,
said a Tinubu’s presidency will be a disservice to
the nation.
He said, “It is a challenge. It would be the most
illogical and most disruptive issue to have him
(Tinubu) elected as President. If this happens, I
will disown Nigeria to take the citizenship of Togo
or any other country.
“Look, what this fellow did in my state, all the lies
and the most painful thing was that on the day of
the election (2019 election) two bullion vans drove
in the daylight to his house and what did Prof Itse
Sagay say, that he (Tinubu) had been a very
wealthy man before. Where was he wealthy? If his
(Sagay’s) conclusion was that, then something is
wrong. Let us call a spade a spade and stop
deceiving ourselves. So, if that is the way they
want to do it, then I am ready to face him
(Tinubu).
“Let us get out there because it would be the
greatest disservice for our nation to have him
contest as a presidential candidate.”
George went on to condemn the ban on
motorcycles and tricycles in the state, urging
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to revisit the policy
