2023: Bode George Attacks Osoba Over Tinubu Criticism

• 2023: Bode George Attacks Osoba Over Tinubu Criticism

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Bode George, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Lagos State, has expressed shock over the statement attributed to former Ogun State Governor, Segun Osoba, that he is attacking Bola Tinubu, a 2023 presidential hopeful, over his imprisonment.

Osoba had in response to George’s rejection of Tinubu’s declaration for Presidency stated that the PDP leader believes Tinubu has a hand in his incarceration.

It would be recalled that George was incarcerated for about two years over corruption charges relating to his tenure as the Chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).

Addressing a press conference at his Lugard Avenue office on Monday, George reiterated that Nigerians must be concerned about the character of people agitating to lead the country. He describes his incarceration as a trial from God which no human is not immune to.

He said the comment by Osoba was to divert attention from the substance of the issues he raised against Tinubu.

“Mr. Osoba, if you did one percent of what Bola Tinubu did in Lagos, you will never be able to go back to Ogun State,” George said.

George also spoke on the recent statement by the Northern Elders’ Forum (NEF) that they cannot afford another Buhari in 2023, saying the Northerners were invariably telling Tinubu that they don’t want him.
