A non-governmental organization Face Of Waziri-Nigeria (FOWN) has described Chief Olabode George’s recent counsel that Alhaji Atiku Abubarka should not contest in 2027 general elections as a clearly jaundiced and ill intended one.
In a statement signed by the group’s Director General Mr. Bukky Adeojo, Chief George’s basis for advising Alhaji Atiku, the People Democratic Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections against recontesting in 2027, smacks of a venomous articulation of a pathological mandate waster.
According to FOWN Bode George has played lead roles in sabotaging efforts of PDP stakeholders in time past and therefore lacks any iota of honour to counsel anyone, let alone a well dignified Atiku Abubarka.
George was described as the main traducer of good fortune wielded by PDP candidates both at the state and national levels and therefore not qualified to negatively meddle in an all-important discourse that pertains the future of Nigeria, rather he should support Atiku come 2027.
“He should not be a tribal bigot and it is time for him to support Atiku’s competency and well-rounded knowledge of Nigeria economy and challenges, but he equally has his own right to support whoever he wants that can butter his bread.
“Trump is 78yrs and he contested and Americans preferred him to Kamala. How old is Trump, Tinubu and Atiku?
FOWN helmsman Adeojo said that: “We are aware of Bode George’ romance with opposition in Lagos for many years but we thought the older an elder, the better wise counsel he gives but BG’s case is totally different.
“You came to this world with nothing and you shall go back with nothing, why must you destroy Atiku simply for crunch of pizza or Pounded yam from Bourdillon?
“Bode George has no power or capacity to advice Atiku not to contest on the basis of age when his kinsman and paymaster Bola Tinubu is of same age with Atiku.
“Bode George is not only twerking around Tinubu, but also supporting him to continue with the clueless, ineffective and lack of direction plus suffering ProMax on poor masses of Nigeria.
“Bode George has been the reason why PDP in Lagos is in shambles and comatose despite efforts of an elder statesman Dr. Chief Abimbola Ogunkelu’s efforts to shape and galvanize the PDP in Lagos to a better position.”
“He is always going behind to sabotage the party. A typical example was how he sabotaged all the efforts of Jandor Adediran PDP’s flag bearer in Lagos in the last election, simply because of self-aggrandizement and selfish and personal gain.”
FOWN however, raised posers on the PDP’s trajectory and influence, berating Bode George as one who really has no pedigree to counsel Atiku.
“Where was Bode George when Atiku and others were forming PDP with Solomon Lar, Alex Ekwueme, Sunday Awoniyi, Jerry Ghana and others? On what capacity is the lame Bode George advising Atiku?
“Has Atiku ever written a letter or memo to BG asking him for money to run his campaign? What contribution has Bode George made in support of Atiku campaign since he said Atiku has been contesting for long? Is Bode George not patron of Wike and Jackson 5?
Lastly the group maintained that instead, Bode George is the one who ought to calm down politically, and make attempt to rebuild his grossly tainted image for posterity’s sake, warning that if he persists with his devilish machinations, he will be resisted constructively.
“Bode George should be the one to calm down and be a statesman that his words can be respected and listen to and not PDP in the night and APC at 2am.
“Mr. Bode George should wait for what God has in stock for Waziri Adamawa Atiku Abubakar come 2027 and I hope he will promise again to leave Nigeria when Atiku assume power come 2027 Insha Allah.
“If Bode George thinks he can collude with Bola Tinubu to rig election or write fictitious results come 2027, he better sleep and think twice because it won’t happen again in Nigeria.
“Bode George kinsman that he sold PDP out for in 2023, how is he enjoying his old age under the hardship and bad economy and insecurity that his Emilokan brought upon Nigeria?
“He should respect himself and his age. That some of us kept quiet during his masquerade naked dance with Wike and the Jackson 5 in which he is more or less the P.R. O of the Jackson 5 along with his other gluttonous travelers from Ekiti.
“They should not take our calmness and civility for weakness. We shall respond and follow him words for words if he continues to dish garbage out of his mouth to the public on Atiku who doesn’t even know if BG is existing”.
