Everything he has said is a bundle of lies – Bode George attacks Tinubu

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bode George, has slammed the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

George described everything Tinubu attributed to himself as a “bundle of lies”.

He said Tinubu did nothing to alleviate the sufferings of residents of Lagos State despite serving as a governor for two terms.

Speaking with Channels Television last night, August 17, George said: “I absolutely have no qualms, no quarrel with Tinubu, but all I know is that everything he has said he was or his name is this or his school is that it’s a bundle of lies.

“I’m a bonafide Lagosian, we knew what Lagos was like, and Lagos remains the commercial nerve centre, not only in Nigeria but in the whole of West Africa. What has this fellow done to us?” The PDP chieftain charged Tinubu to open up on the ownership of Alpa Beta company.

He said the APC presidential candidate should tell Nigerians how much the company has allegedly stolen from the Lagos State Government.

George said: “I have asked a very simple question and none of them has been able to answer it: who owns the Alpha Beta company? How much has the Alpha Beta company stolen from the coffers of our treasury in Lagos state?

“What has he done to alleviate the pains of the people of the state?”

Former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has debunked the report that he is quietly opening a presidential campaign office in Abuja.

Tinubu in his reaction noted that he is focused on helping President Muhammadu Buhari to deliver on his mandates.

Recall that a news platform had claimed that the APC National Leader secretly opened a campaign office.

However, Tinubu, who spoke through his Media Aide, Tunde Rahman, called on his supporters to work with Buhari.

He further stated that followers of Tinubu want him to run for Presidency.

“His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has not even declared his intention to contest the 2023 presidential election let alone opening a campaign office. He has repeatedly said 2023 is still some years away and that he is at present focused on helping President Buhari to deliver on his mandate as he is doing and coast home to victory.”

“That is his position. You know also that many of his friends, associates and supporters who feel he is eminently qualified for the presidency and has done excellently well to advance our democracy and want to see him contest for the top job are doing everything on their own to see this happen.”

“I don’t know the office you are talking about, but it may just be one of those things these people are doing to get Asiwaju Tinubu to do as they wish. And I think they have a right to advance the course they believe in. Asiwaju’s appeal, however, is they allow the present government to concentrate on the good job it is doing and allow the matter of 2023 to take care of itself in the fullness of time,”
