Let's leave out who said what and analyse the message.

____

A former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Bode George, has berated the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and a former interim National Chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande, over the seeming marginalisation of the Yoruba in the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

Buhari had since assuming office on May 29, appointed nine public officials, of which eight are from the North.

Also, Akande had alleged in an open letter that the National Assembly crisis was being sponsored by some northern elements, adding that there appeared to be a conspiracy by the North against the South-West.

Akande had said, “Most northern elite, the Nigerian oil subsidy barons and other business cartels, who never liked Buhari’s anti-corruption stance, are quickly backing the rebellion against the APC with strong support.

“While other position seekers are waiting in the wings until Buhari’s ministers are announced, a large section of the South-West sees the rebellion as a conspiracy of the North against the Yoruba.”

Reacting to the development, however, George predicted that the Yoruba would be grossly marginalised for the next four years because the Yoruba leaders within the APC did not plan properly before rushing into an alliance with the North.

He said Akande and Tinubu should have learnt from history and the politics of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who remained in the opposition all through his life because he put the Yoruba interest ahead of his personal ambition.

George, who spoke to our correspondent on the telephone, said the PDP was able to sustain democracy for 16 years because it understood Nigeria’s diversity and constantly zoned key positions among the six geopolitical zones.

He said the recent crisis in the APC started from Akande and Tinubu’s comment that the APC would not zone the positions of Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives.

George said the absence of zoning threw the contest for principal offices in the National Assembly wide open and led to crisis.

He said, “They (Tinubu and Akande) were not cautious when they were forming their alliance. They did not understand the dynamics of national politics. They were just driven by greed. I am not saying that they should not have formed an alliance with the North but it should have been on equal basis.

“They have now been given a political circumcision. Awolowo wanted Yoruba to be equal partners with the North and not a second force. I said it that we have returned to the 1960 political era and Tinubu and Akande have been slapped. I predicted all these.

“They were not thinking of the Yoruba but their selfish interests and I have no sympathy for them. Chief Akande said he did not believe in zoning and I knew that he did not know what he was talking about.

“Zoning gives everybody, including the minorities, a sense of belonging but Akande threw zoning of out the window and that move has backfired.”

When confronted with the fact that the South-West still holds the position of vice-president which is the number two citizen in the country, George said the position of vice-president was not an influential position.

“Go and read our constitution, there is no defined job for the vice-president. He only heads the Economic Council and is directed by the President. Let all Yoruba wake up now. You don’t enter into a coalition without deep thinking,” he said.

Bode George?

I will not dignify a toilet paper with a reply.

HungerBAD:
Bode George?

I will not dignify a toilet paper with a reply.

Well I said fools will be fools.
I wonder why it's too hard for you to understand that.

Who's Chief Bode George ?



Can someone please tell this old Man to short up his mouth

You sold south west out during the past election to south east , your action speaks allot about your person

George Pls leave jagabam of Africa alone

Tinubu has always been a trader.no surprises here

I dey smell Nepotism o

Lot of sense in the message.

In as much as I don't want to be identified with bode George, for once he's saying the truth.

From the look of things, many APC ardent supporters are already regretting they voted APC. But shame/pride would not allow them to say it out that they are already missing GEJ

Tho people Have Seen The Pains In Their Pride

Bode George spewing his nonsense as usual. Yoruba's got nothing from GEJ so, Tinubu was right to have sanctioned the APC alliance with the north. Beside, there is nothing wrong with Buhari's appointments so far, loads of offices are yet to be filled and we are very confident that the president will ensure national balance in filling these offices without compromising merit and competence.

Bode George should also know that most Nigerians were tired of GEJ'S corrupt and clueless government. If that election is held 1001 times, we will still vote for Buhari/APC over GEJ.

When the truth comes from an unexpected quatre, some gullible fellows start talking r@bbish.

Among all of you above me, who can strongly oppose what Chief Bode said with a backup facts.

The man said an unclad truth shikena.

wetin dem get under gej

Is he on exile already?

Where's the receipt sir?

Nigeria politicians and amoral politics.


Tinubu is a political merchant, who is ready to short change anybody for his own gains.


Bode George is not in any way better ...

summary below...



“They were not thinking of the Yoruba but their selfish interests and I have no sympathy for them. Chief Akande said he did not believe in zoning and I knew that he did not know what he was talking about.

“Zoning gives everybody, including the minorities, a sense of belonging but Akande threw zoning of out the window and that move has backfired.”

When confronted with the fact that the South-West still holds the position of vice-president which is the number two citizen in the country, George said the position of vice-president was not an influential position.

“Go and read our constitution, there is no defined job for the vice-president. He only heads the Economic Council and is directed by the President. Let all Yoruba wake up now. You don’t enter into a coalition without deep thinking,” he said.

rooftech:
wetin dem get under gej

Dem get speakership for house of rep but because of some selfish interest Dem dash am to north.

Abi you don forget the drama wey take place. Those beautiful role play by these actors tambuwal, femi gbajabimila, some pdp rep and all acn rep.

Wetin dey transpire now na the season 2 but this season 2 eh sweet die no be small but i no wish for season 3 to have the same plot and actors and actresses with them.

They are already regreting their action.

Leadership in Nigeria - at this moment requires a BAILOUT

ZUBY77:


Well I said fools will be fools.
I wonder why it's too hard for you to understand that.

oh, don't even know where to start see whether with you, the message or the messenger because you all ooze if foolishness. Like you said anyway. Yea we understand.

“They have now been given a political circumcision"



Nija Elders get bad mouth no be small

Bode George got this one so right.

Tinubu/Akande enter into alliances of APC to change PDP and get to the centre !

nPDP joined the APC to change Jonathan !

Buhari got to the alliance to become President and "Change Nigeria" .... but with intensification of bombing, sectionally favoured appointments and lack of policy direction yet due to absence of cabinet after more than a month ....

No be one chance we dey so .... Time shall tell o !!

Good point from Bode George,
We would raise a committe for the foreinsic audit. How come?!

Tinubu ,Akande and their gullible followers are simply reaping the fruits of their treacherous ways.

For the first time.

Bode George spoke well.

Fingers crossed till we see all his key cabinet

ZUBY77:
Let's leave out who said what and analyse the message.
But of course, fools will still be fools..

I hope the yorubas are reading these wise words properly

Is Bode George talking from exile? Bode is bittered towards Tinubu just because Jagaban carpeted his political carrier & make him redundant in SW.

Gbam Gbam Gbam

A Jonathan lackey has nothing sensible to say to me.

Instead of them to stand on their own,they sell themselves for relevance. The north will so deal with you people

doublewisdom:
Tinubu ,Akande and their gullible followers are simply reaping the fruits of their treacherous ways.

You mean they should have supported Jonathan and PDP for them not to be treacherous?
But TINUBU was never in PDP. supporting PDP and Jonathan would have been treacherous.
But wait a minute. Where would PDP presidential candidate come from in 2019? From the south east or the north.
If from the north, would it be treacherous for any south easterner to vote for a northern candidate of their party?
Bode George , as usual, has allowed hatred to distort his thinking faculty.
As per the north, buhari will only undermine himself if he tries to undermine TINUBU . Iit is not also true that SARAKI and his co-conspirators have won.
It is just round one of a 15 round match. What TINUBU is doing right now is the ROPER DOPER strategy Mohammed Ali used against George foreman.
ALLOW YOUR OPPONENT TO BOX HIMSELF OUT IN THE EARLY ROUND AND VIRTUALLY KNOCK HIMSELF OUT.
PDP IDIOTIC COMMENTATORS AND BODE TEWONDE GEORGE JUST DON'T AND CAN'T GET IT.
