Bode George, a former Deputy Chairman (South) of the People’s Democratic Party ( PDP) has dismissed reports that claimed that he said he would work with President Bola Tinubu if he invited him.
Bode George made this statement during an interview with The Arise Television on Monday. The PDP chieftain said the media platform that published it was not present at the conference when he spoke about what he will do if the President should call him for consultation.
When they asked me, “What will you do if Tinubu invites you?” and I said precisely that if he (Tinubu) call me I will pray for Nigeria.
“Listen, I’m not a flip-flopper by any profession. I retired as a General. What will he be calling me for. We don’’t belong to the same party.
“If he says Hello chief, Good morning, and I will say Good morning Mr. President that is if all court cases are over. We are still in court.
“Even when Papa Olusi came, trying to convince me to go and pay a congratulatory visit to him (Tinubu), I said, No I can’t do that.
“What would they be doing in their calculation? I’ve told I’ve no personal qualms with this gentleman. The only differences we have are purely administrative,”
Recall that Bode George has been a critical of President Tinubu long before his presidential bid. He also said he will never congratulate President Tinubu over his presidential victory.
