Share this article

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, in the Southwest, Chief Bode George, has revealed why he is not in support of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, an All Progressives Congress, APC, leader’s aspiration to become Nigeria’s next president in 2023.

George stressed that Tinubu had completely taken full control of the resources of Lagos State.

He, however, said that he has no grudge with the APC national leader.

George said the former governor of Lagos State should allow other people to get to power because he has been in control for a very long time.

The PDP chieftain said: “He has completely annexed the resources of my State.

“I have absolutely no personal grudge against Tinubu. What I have against him is the plundering of the finances of the State.

“Which country will have the Internal Revenue Service and will now set up a company solely owned by him and his cronies, collecting the taxes of the people on behalf of the Internal Revenue Service, how? This doesn’t make any sense.

“This fellow has plundered and mismanaged the finances of this State to a stupor that calls for attention.”
