The former deputy national chair (South) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has disclosed that he would have left Nigeria if President Bola Tinubu had not sent Femi Gbajabiamila to appeal to him.
Recall that in January 2022, after Tinubu announced his presidential bid, George vowed to flee Nigeria, stating that: “I will move away from Nigeria. I’ll leave because he will be your representative in the international plane. Which investment will he bring here?
This is not the kind of person we can hand over this massive country to manage. He will be the greatest jok£ on the international plane. We should bother who should lead us.
If by whatever chance he gets to the villa, I won’t be part of this country. And I am not joking. I can go to Ghana and be watching with binoculars from afar. You will see what will happen.”
However, speaking in an interview with Arise TV on Wednesday, October 16, George said: “During the campaign period I stated it and I meant it; that if by whatever measure Bola Tinubu wins this election, I was going to get out.
Once they heard that, Tinubu sent his chief of staff, who is my little brother from Lagos state, Femi Gbajabiamila, to appeal to me.
“He came to say: ‘my boss said I should tell you, please be calm’. They knew they had wronged me. They said they were sorry.”
