Why I Can’t Visit Tinubu – Bode George

People Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Bode George has revealed why he cannot visit President-elect, Bola tinubu.

This is coming after a delegation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by Retired Justice Isola Olorunmibe, leader of the Governance Advisory Council in Lagos State, Tajudeen Olusi and others visited him and requested that he visit Tinubu.

Bode George said: “They were led by Papa Olorunmibe, a 94-year-old man. In Yoruba land, such a man cannot say he wants to come to my house and I will say no. It’s not done in my culture. There were other elders from the PDP.”

“First of all, they came to apologise for whatever they had done in the past, and I said I have moved on and have nothing against his person.”

“We may disagree on policies but we must not be disagreeable. Secondly, they wanted me to pay him a courtesy call. I was like, what are you talking about?”

“I am the man representing South-West in the national confines of our party and I’m a life BoT member. So, how do I add that together?”

“We are still in court, how do I now say I want to go and greet him? Greet him for what? What will my party and my people think about me?”

“Once we finish at the court, then we’ll know what to do. The PDP members and I present were very clear in our mind that going to him now will be a bit suicidal. I’m still an irridentist PDP man.”
