I was informed about a recent interview by Bode George in one of the national dailies and felt it necessary to clarify his claim that I begged him for forgiveness. I don’t know when and how I ever offended Mr.George. I have never wronged the man or even thought of it. I sought no forgiveness because no forgiveness was needed.
I
think somehow he is still trying to implicate me as instigating the
criminal proceedings once lodged against him. From my recollection, Mr.
George was found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction based on
convincing evidence of wrongdoing. He insults the judiciary by implying
that his conviction was wrongly derived.
Mr.
George seeks to imbue me with more power than I could possibly have. I
am flattered but in all humility I must protest the false assessment. If
he can remember, the government of the day was that of the PDP. I have
never had nor sought much influence in those circles. He was charged by
the government ruled by his own party for an offence concerning
financial irregularities at the Nigeria Port Authority, NPA, an
appointment he received from that same government. It is an incredible
tale indeed to state that somehow I could direct a party that tried to
dismantle the progressive political structure of my party to bring down
one of its key members.
The
more plausible explanation for his legal tribulation was that a member
of his own cabal blew the whistle on Mr. George’s antics for reasons
that only he and that person truly know. The rest is now history.
I
believe he was convicted of “ Invoice Splitting” a violation of
financial regulations. This malpractice is a deliberate circumvention of
the law so that the culprit may approval expenditures above his
mandated authority to do so and without proper oversight.
In the end, it was Mr. George’s own hand and actions that led to his incarceration more than anything I could ever have done.
Mr.
George claims the alleged apology was made at the burial of Chief Alao
Arisekola. On that date, personalities such as Oba Otudeko and Governor
Ajimobi approached me because I did not greet Mr. George initially. They
pleaded that, in the memory of the man we were all gathered to honor, I
should greet Mr. George. At their request, I turned back and came to
greet him by saying “Good Afternoon Egbon”. That was all.
If Mr.
George wishes to interpret that as an apology, he has the right to do
so. I also have the right to state categorically that no apology was
made or even intended.
I
think he is trying to find a way to walk back from his election
hyperbole that he would go on exile if the APC won the Lagos State
governership election. He realizes that Lagos under the APC is a very
good place to live afterall. If he wants to remain in Lagos, he does not
have to manufacture an excuse or explain away his bad words. Neither
the APC nor I have any aims against him. In the election, the people
rejected his party and his brand of politics. That is enough for us. We
move on to greater progress. We have no time or inclination to trouble
ourselves by troubling Bode George. Any trouble he is experiencing is a
product of his own mind.

#TeamBlessed#
Gbam gbamest Tinubu said it all.
We are getting sick of the continues bickering and outpour of irrelevance by Bode George, and the consequent gracing of the aformentioned by Bola Tinubu.
The younger generation is now only interested in outpour of construtive and practical ideas and solutions that will fix the mess of a country the lot of Bode's generation have saddled this country with.
Tinubu i beg chill! You too see yourself! RUBBISH! PRIDE GOES B$ A FALL!
Only in Nigeria will a drug addict still be in power and be basting up and down.
Jagaban! Now this is what I called a press release from a media office with class! Right choice of words, no insults, no name calling, right tone.. dayuum!
Okupe, Abati, LIB observe!
You get brain at all?
Bode George is an ex-con...was it ur dad dat convicted jagaban? Bloody lizard like u..😂
But truth be told Tinubu is not an apology person and it hasn't been in the news that Tinubu apologised to Bode jidge.
Go help dem knock am down now, idiot
Tinubu is just getting too pompous, see drug baron.... why is he feeling so important? he is just an old rogue...
Dis bode is an old fool @ asamkotopo- ure an idiot....hiss
Oponu! Is that the issue here
Obviously, Bode George! He's giving excuses not to go on exile..lol...really wish he could get out of this country already and join his son in modelling! Lmao!
U must b thinking with ur asshole
Exactly! A criminal like tinubu throwing stones
What's Tinubu feeling like.....like they are not all criminals....long hiss

Word
Our politicians can sabi talk from two sides of their mouth, they can lie!
For the first time, Im'ma say nice one jagaban... No insults, no innuendos. Just stated the facts.
Out-Classed once again! PDP read and learn pls.
I just love the Jagaban. I pray i can meet him and sit at his feet someday. Touche! couldn't have responded better.
The big fool here is Bode George because he was power drunk and thought PDP would remain in power for the next 50 years. The old fool boasted that he would run into exile if APC won therefore what is he still doing in Lagos. I would ashamed to be related to someone who has no principal like him.
Tinubu is not smiling at all
