A former Deputy National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has weighed in on the early days of President Bola Tinubu’s tenure. He stated that while it is not perfect, it is reasonably better than his time as Lagos State governor.
According to George, “It’s not a 100-metre race. He (Tinubu) is to manage his people and to manage the resources of this country for the betterment of this country. He is just starting off.”
Despite being a longtime rival of Tinubu, he expressed his willingness to work together with the President for the good of the country.
Better Managerial Style
The PDP chieftain attributed the major difference between him and Tinubu to their managerial style. “His managerial style is unlike me. I have a background in the military and I am a logistician in the military. You don’t carry your men to war without adequately doing your serious planning, intelligence gathering,” he said.
Optimistic About PDP Victory
George expressed optimism about his party and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, emerging victorious at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja. “Let’s wait for the outcome of the judiciary. The process is not over. The day the process is over and the court pronounces him as the President, we have no way to fight but to pray for Nigeria,” he said.
