Chief Bode George says he will be leading a massive campaign
against the APC in Lagos in order for his party's flag bearer, Jimi Agbaje can
win the April 11th Governorship election. Speaking with Punch yesterday April 2nd,
he said
"I am here
and I will be at the center of operation. The people of Lagos also want a
change and we are going to be here to lead the battle. The battle is on and the
people of Lagos want a change and we will ensure that we get it right. Lagos
people know that this administration has mismanaged their resources. We are not
leaving anything undone. We will reach out to the people during the campaigns.”
In
the interview, Bode George denied saying that he would be going on exile
because Buhari won presidential election. According to him, he would only be
taking a long holiday to finish writing his autobiography.
"I have been
travelling long before now and now I need a long rest. I am 70 and I need to
tidy up my memoirs and if you want to do that, you need a lot of time away from
all of the hassles. But it does not mean I will no longer be a Nigerian. I have
no personal grudge against Buhari or all the other people. We are in two
different parties with different ideologies and if he is the President, I have
no objection and I wish him the best of luck. The break will give me time.
Rather than running up and down to Abuja, I will be there (abroad) writing my
memoirs and doing other things for myself. Of course I will come back, my
mother is still alive. I am not scampering out of Nigeria.”
