The Action Congress of Nigeria has berated the PDP for welcoming Bode George with fan fare, pomp and pageantry.
Bode George was released from Kirikiri maximum prison yesterday and was welcomed in a carnival like style by his party members, friends and family. The thanksgiving service held for him at the Cathedral Church of Christ was broadcast to the public live on AIT on saturday.
Chairman of the ACN, Lai Mohammed condemned the PDP celebrating corruption and sending wrong signals to the Public, he also asked Nigerians to stand their ground on zero tolerance for corruption. He maintained that while there was nothing wrong with rehabilitating wrong doers and integrating them back into the society, celebrating the return of someone imprisoned for corruption in such a manner was unacceptable. Furthermore, he urged Nigerians not to forget that Chief Bode George was jailed for stealing money meant for the Nigerian Ports Authority as loyalists are now comparing hime to political heroes like Obafemi Awolowo and Nelson Mandela.
Bode George on the other hand maintains that his imprisonment was a ' Politically motivated conspiracy' and that ' he is now back to work as he is on a mission and has a project to complete'
