A former Deputy Chairman of PDP, Chief Bode
George says the emergence of Bukola Saraki and
Yakubu Dogara as new Senate President and
Speaker House of Representatives indicates that
Bola Tinubu's career politically is coming to a
sunset.
"You know I predicted weeks ago that the APC is
just a congregation of strange bedfellows. The
most beautiful thing about what has happened is
that Bola Tinubu’s political influence in
Nigeria is coming to a sunset and it is about five
minutes to midnight for him. If he cannot see
this now, then it will be foolish of him. He
brought in the APC national chairman and the
vice-president and he thinks Nigeria belongs to
him.
So, he thought what he did in Lagos was what he
could replicate at the national level and they
have shown him that he cannot continue to be
the lord of the manor. So, if he is wise, he will
slow down. President Muhammadu Buhari, as an
army general, has fought more battles than him
and has an understanding of things.
The PDP was never dead. We were only given a
bloodied nose, not a technical knockout. So, this
is an opportunity to start regrouping and getting
ready for 2019. I want to salute the dexterity and
perfect political manoeuvres for which the PDP
is well known. People like Tinubu and Chief
Bisi Akande in Osun have always been local
champions. Now, they have come to the national
level of politics and they are now learning the
tricks that all that glitters is not gold. I
congratulate Saraki and Ekweremadu.
They understand what Nigeria is all about. The
APC would discipline Saraki? Is Saraki a
child? They probably think they are playing
local politics like the one they play in Lagos
State. I welcome them to the real world" he told
