Tinubu had, last week, declared his intentions to run for the 2023 governmental elections under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The statement has, however, generated a lot of responses throughout the nation in which George has actually lent his voice.

George, in an interview, explained Tinubu’s ambition as a “substantial joke” saying, “the Presidency of Nigeria is not for characters like Bola Tinubu. Take a look at how he mishandled the resources of Lagos State. It is unexpected that he can even imagine becoming the President of Nigeria. He is living in cuckoo land.”

Irritated by the comments of the PDP stalwart, the Pro-Tinubu group in Akwa Ibom, which arranged a press conference on Saturday in Uyo, the state capital, stated George’s view was an indicator that he is either still living in antiquity or not in tune with truth.

The coordinator of the group in the state, Hon Inyang Ifiok, in his address stated, “Bode George is entitled to his opinion and we have flexibility of expression. So, if he says Tinubu who is being commemorated throughout the political divide of this nation, his statement is a substantial joke, it, therefore, suggests that he is still living in the ancient days, not the world these days.”

He explained Tinubu’s declaration as the “greatest political news of the year, adding that it fired up a stimulate that activated 2 APC members to also declare their interest in the presidential race.”

He included, “It came strong and effective, reverberating throughout the entire instructions of our nationwide political landscape. It stirred the rather somnolent political area of activities in the land into a craze.

“Shortly, after it broke it fired up a spark that obliged at least two other top members of our party, the APC, to also state interest in running for the workplace as president of our motherland. The days head will be interesting to witness”

Inyang stated no Nigerian need to make error about Tinubu’s presidential aspiration, adding that by declaring his objectives, he was responding to the yearnings of Nigerians to enter the nation’s political “cockpit” and fly the country above its current socio-economic and political issues, above insecurity and above underdevelopment into a destiny of a contended citizenry.
