Bode George, a former deputy national chairman for the south of the Peoples Democratic Party, has denied rumours that he promised to collaborate with President Bola Tinubu if the latter extended an invitation.
When asked what he would do if President Tinubu called him for advice, Bode George stated that the media outlet that published the report was not present at the press conference.
This was disclosed by the PDP leader during a Monday interview with Arise Television.
He said;
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.
The elder stateman was widely reported to have said he was open to working with President Bola Tinubu if he consults him.
According to a report by Leadership, the PDP chieftain was reported to have said this at his Ikoyi office in Lagos while fielding questions from journalists.
George has been critical of Tinubu, long before his presidential bid, to the extent that he (George) said he would go on exile if Tinubu emerges president of Nigeria.
