Former Deputy Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George has explained his reason for opposing the 2023 presidential ambition of former Lagos governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
He made his reasons known in a press conference in Lagos on Saturday, warning that he could relocate to Ghana if Tinubu emerges president in 2023.
George described Tinubu as a nepotistic politician that would fix his family in the juiciest political positions in the country if allowed to win the presidency.

George said that Tinubu could not emerge president without rigging, thanking President Muhammadu Buhari for signing the new Electoral Act which he said would prevent such a situation from happening.
The former military governor of Ondo state also dispelled rumour that he had been bribed by Tinubu.
“I am happy the president has signed the new electoral bill. If by whatever chance he (referring to Tinubu) gets to the villa, I won’t be part of this country
“And I am not joking. I can go to Ghana, live in Ghana and be watching with binoculars from afar. You will see what will happen.
“This is Alpha Beta in Lagos. He will create some Alter Beta somewhere to carry your money. His wife will now be senate president. His son will be governor of Lagos. His daughter will be Iyaloja of Nigeria.
“What has he done to prove that he deserves to be honoured by anybody in this country?”
“Nothing personal. In fact, my niece called me. She said ‘some of their people are spinning that he gives me money. That Bola gives me money’.
“Let him bring the money. I will tell him to follow me to Lagos Island — people who are hungry are there. I grew up there — in Lagos Island,” George.
