Former Chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party , Olabode George, has given more reason why he is against Former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, becoming President in 2023.
Chief George says, Tinubu has been in power for so long and has taken control of the resources of Lagos State which according to him would only be right to allow power to change hands.
“He has completely annexed the resources of my state,” George said on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Tuesday.
“I have absolutely no personal grudge against Tinubu. What I have against him is the plundering of the finances of the state.
“Which country will have the Internal Revenue Service and will now set up a company solely owned by him and his cronies, collecting the taxes of the people on behalf of the Internal Revenue Service, how? This doesn’t make any sense.
“This fellow has plundered and mismanaged the finances of this state to a stupor that calls for attention.
“Who is perpetually the Senate representing Lagos, three times already? So he will be President of Nigeria, his wife will be Senate President of Nigeria, his son will be Governor of Lagos and his daughter will be the Iya-Oloja General of Lagos?,” Chief George asked.
This comes days after he had also said if Tinubu becomes President in 2023, he will leave Nigeria.
Meanwhile, the APC Chieftain, Tibnubu who has been doing consultations ahead of his 2023 ambition, says he is ready to fill the shoes of President Buhari.
