Bode George Vows To Take Togolese Citizenship If Tinubu Becomes President

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

Former deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has threatened to leave Nigeria and become a citizen of Togo if Bola Tinubu becomes Nigeria’s President in 2023.

Bode George, in an interview with Punch Newspaper, noted that it would be a great disservice to Nigeria, if Tinubu contests for president.

George described APC as a conglomeration of sinners, while drawing reference from the statement credited to the National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomole, “those that have sinned before should come to the APC and their sins would be forgiven.”

In his words, “It is a challenge. It would be the most illogical and most disruptive issue to have him (Tinubu) elected as President,” George declared.

“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 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.

“The APC to me is a congregation of strange bird fellows and you can see the effect. Nobody is talking for the party or the government, all you hear are a cacophony of voices and that is why the party is not working.

“So, if Tinubu is one of the leaders of the party, it means it is not working. I am convinced that Nigerians who voted the APC into government would be regretting it now. I am not saying this because I belong to another party, but the management of that party (APC) is archaic and it is rural in its concept. They can modernise themselves though.

“You heard what the National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, once said that all those that have sinned before should come to the APC and their sins would be forgiven. Is that the kind of statement that should come from the national chairman of a ruling party?

“So, it (APC) is a congregation of sinful people. What is required in Nigeria is the provision of food, shelter, and good infrastructure, but the APC is now very far from providing that. Whether you are a rich or a poor man, we all fall into the same category and it is scary.”
