Bode George Softens Stance, Says He Has No Grudge Against Tinubu

Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George, has said that he bears no grudge against the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, saying that unity of purpose in Lagos supersedes political affiliation.

He, however, said that because of his position and membership of an opposition party, he would not congratulate Tinubu until litigations relating to the election were concluded.

George spoke, at the weekend, when some elders in Lagos State met with him and urged him to support and collaborate with Tinubu as he assumes office on May 29.

He said: “The elders came for three things. They talked about the running battle I have with Tinubu and I said I have no battle, nothing personal between me and him. What has happened has happened and gone, vengeance is God’s. We can disagree but we must not be disagreeable.

“They made a request, which we are still looking into. I said election matter is still in the court and whichever way it goes, the issue of congratulating him or not will come to fruition. I have nothing personal against him because I believe as a believer, nothing happens outside the knowledge of God.”
