The All Progressive Congress Lagos Chapter has asked Chief Bode George to
keep quiet for now and continue to lick the wounds inflicted on him by the
colossal defeat his Party suffered at both the National and the State
levels in the just concluded federal elections.
In a Press Statement released in Lagos by the State Publicity Secretary
Mr. Joe Igbokwe the Party said that Chief Bode George like the Lagos PDP
Chairman, Tunji Shelle has just woken up from a chronic hallucination
after suffering a choking and devastating defeat in the hands of APC.
“Bode George is yet to come to terms that it is all over for PDP in
Nigeria and Lagos. He is yet to believe that Lagos APC has forcefully
retired him from active politics for ever in Nigeria and Lagos State”
“Why is Bode George finding it difficult to believe that the game is over
for him in Nigerian politics talk less of Lagos State? Who will tell Bode
George that nobody takes him serious again in matters of Nigerian
politics? Who will persuade Chief Bode George to quit politics now in his
own interest?”
“What is giving Bode George the courage to believe that President Buhari
will probe Asiwaju BAT and Fashola, who are the real drivers of change in
Nigeria because a Bode George said so? How can a jail bird who plundered
and looted NPA, and who just got pardoned the other day because of 2015
elections forget easily that he is part of the problem of Nigeria and not
part of the solution? Did Bode George know that his case at NPA and the
fraudulent amnesty granted by the former President may be revisited?”
“How can we forget that Chief George imposed Jimi Agbaje on Lagos PDP and
caused a big crisis at Oregun Lagos where the Party conducted its
primaries? How can we forget that Chief Bode George kept the funds meant
for his party campaigns in Lagos knowing fully well that there is no road
to where he is going? How can we forget that it was this same Bode George
that initiated the political brigandage and ethnic politics we saw in
Lagos that nearly caused xenophobic attacks?”
“How can an old man who armed thugs all over Lagos with an instruction to
kill if necessary in order to steal Lagos be the one that will tell
President Buhari what to do? Did Bode George know that President has full
knowledge of his dubious activities in Lagos during the campaigns?
“Chief Bode George spoke about the cost of projects in Lagos, but the
question is this: what does a hut builder know about Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge?
What does this carpenter know about gold? What does this failed politician
know about good governance and service delivery?”
