If Buhari Wins Jonathan, I'll Escape From Nigeria — Bode George by amzee(m): 12:50pm On Feb 17, 2015
It seems Bode George is not in the
mood to be friends with Bola
Tinubu, politics or no politics. The
old man said he is very sure Tinubu
will call for his arrest once APC
takes over the Presidency:

Why did the military surround
former Governor Bola Tinubu’s
house?

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.

The general perception in Lagos is
that the governorship race is
between yourself and Tinubu.

Absolutely not! In the PDP, no
individual owns the party. I happen
to have been the first national vice
chairman, South-West PDP, and
then became deputy national
chairman South and then deputy
national chairman for the whole
country and having done that, they
have honoured me that as long as I
remain in the party, I remain a
member of the Board of Trustees
and I am the only one representing
the South-West in the national
caucus forever. That is a great
honour in our party but I don’t
decide who becomes a candidate.
Primaries were conducted and in
this particular case, the voice of the
people became louder than
anybody’s. I am not like Bola
Tinubu, I don’t have the papers of
the party in my pocket. I don’t even
have a veto power. But the other
side doesn’t practice democracy.
We have friends that are members
there. Jimi Agbaje has no godfather
but will not behave like an
authoritarian governor.

But Senator Musiliu Obanikoro said
you were the one that imposed
Agbaje.

That is absolute garbage, he knew
he was lying. You know he came
from their party and that is why he
was saying it was me. He has now
retracted the statement. We are now
one indivisible party and we are
ready for election. All the vagaries
and all that happened during the
primary was a test of the ability and
the strength of our party and we
listened to the voice of the people.
The voice of the people is the voice
of God.

Op, every smoke has a fire. Even you came out of somewhere, you are not a product of someone's imagination. So, where is the source of this story?.....#folded hands with koboko and tapping foot.
