Bode George had declared that he would relocate out of the country if Tinubu won the 2023 election. Following the announcement of Bola Tinubu as the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), many expected Bode George to follow through with his comment, but he did not.
Over a year later, Bode George revealed that Tinubu had begged him.
“During the campaign period, I stated and meant it that if Tinubu won that election, I was going to get out. Once they heard that, Tinubu sent his Chief of Staff, Gbajabiamila.
“He came and said, ‘Ogbon said, please don’t be calm, trying to beg. They came with options that they were sorry because they knew they had wronged me.
Speaking on Arise TV’s Morning Show, the PDP chieftain also shared his thoughts on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, calling the former Rivers Governor his son.
He said, “Wike is like a son to me and when I saw the division as an elder of the party from the convention; I spoke with Ayu that you made a public statement that if the presidential candidate comes from the north, you would resign but now you are manipulating it, and that was where the crisis started.
“It is an anomaly to have the presidential candidate and the party chairman from the same zone; people will react to that. I don’t live my life based on Wike.
“I saw the shenanigans going on between him and his governor and I told the Chairman of the BoT that it’s important for us to arrange a meeting with Fubara and Wike to know the problem between the two of them. “Fubara gave us an appointment and set up a committee where we met with him in Port Harcourt, he told us his side of the story.
