Bode George Is Not Leaving Yet, Atleast Not Now Until He Leads A Massive Campaign Against APC
The PDP chief has made it known to Punch that, for APC to have defeated PDP at the presidential level , he will personally be leading a massive campaign against APC in Lagos in the forthcoming Governorship election. George said, APC has ruled Lagos for 16years and the people of the State knows they have mismanaged it, so therefore, this time around there is no going back, because they also want change, using the APC slogan. APC must be defeated, he explained. But never too worry, the Chief is still going, it is just not now.
“I am here and I will be at the centre 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,” he said.
He also denied he said he will be going on exile now that Buhari has been elected, but admitted he will be going on a very long break overseas to rest for a long period because he needs to focus on 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,” he said
