Chief Bode George has taken a swipe at APC Leader, Bola Tinubu after
Bukola Saraki's emergence as the Senate President..The former deputy
chairman of the PDP who also promised to go on exile when Buhari became
president says Tinubu has five minutes to the end of his
political career.Speaking to
Punch from London,he said
The APC would discipline Saraki? Is Saraki a child? They
probably think they are playing local politics like the one they play
in Lagos State. I welcome them to the real world,” he said.
“You know I predicted weeks ago that the APC is just a congregation of
strange bedfellows. The most beautiful thing about what has happened is
that Bola Tinubu’s political influence in Nigeria is coming to a sunset
and it is about five minutes to midnight for him.
“If he cannot
see this now, then it will be foolish of him. He brought in the APC
national chairman and the vice-president and he thinks Nigeria belongs
to him.
So, he thought what he did in Lagos was what he could replicate
at the national level and they have shown him that he cannot continue to
be the lord of the manor.
“So, if he is wise, he will slow down.
President Muhammadu Buhari, as an army general, has fought more battles
than him and has an understanding of things.”
The PDP was never dead. We were only given a bloodied nose, not a
technical knockout. So, this is an opportunity to start regrouping and
getting ready for 2019. I want to salute the dexterity and perfect
political manoeuvres for which the PDP is well known.
“People
like Tinubu and Chief Bisi Akande in Osun have always been local
champions. Now, they have come to the national level of politics and
they are now learning the tricks that all that glitters is not gold.“I congratulate Saraki and Ekweremadu. They understand what Nigeria is all about.”
