PDP Chieftain, Bode George says he will go into exile if Bola
Tinubu's party, the APC, find its way into national government.
According to Bode George, if Bola Tinubu gets into power, he
would instruct his "boy", the APC Vice Presidential Candidate, Prof Yemi
Osinbajo, to immediately pick him up. Bode George said this in an
interview with Eniola Akinkuotu of Punch
"If Bola Tinubu finds his way into national government, I will go on
exile. He hasn’t the temerity and the calmness of mind. They don’t even
know what to do in power. Because the vice-president is his boy, he will
just order that Bode George should be picked up. He said soldiers came
to him but he must have been dreaming. When he said soldiers had
surrounded his house, I drove down there because my house is not too far
from there. I know the hierarchy of the military and its behaviour.
That they surrounded his house is lie number one because on either side
of his house are two buildings. There is also one at the back. So, I
wondered where the soldiers were hiding. Why would you lie for public
consumption? So when I got down there, I knew that his spin doctors were
working. These days people go on the social media and the story went
viral. Why would he (President Godluck Jonathan) from Abuja, be running
after Bola? Let them be very careful about the statements they are
making. More so, if Obasanjo is now linking Jonathan with what happened
in Cote d’Ivoire and coup; not in this 21st Century. That is past and
gone forever. No nation goes through this kind of tribulation twice and
survive. We have had our own experience of Civil War and I pray that God
does not direct our minds in that direction and our people have to
watch their mouths".
