A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former
Deputy National Chairman of the party, Chief Olabode George has said he will
contest for 2023 presidency if national leader of the All Progressive Congress,
APC Bola Tinubu decides to contest.
The PDP chieftain said Tinubu should not be the president of
Nigeria because he is not a good manager of resources and has no respect for
the poor.
Speaking to DailyTrust, Pa George said “The moment I read
that the APC will zone the Presidency to the South-West so that Bola can
contest, I said to myself, I have put in far more and I would contest against
him.
“Why? Because we all experienced what he did as a manager of
this state. Whatever it takes, if he comes out, I’ll fight against him.
“To be assertive and to confirm, I am very much interested
in the presidential race.
Asked if he had a personal disagreement with Tinubu, George
said he just disapproves of the national leader’s methodology and has no
personal issues.
“There is nothing personal. It is just about his
methodology, his system of governance, the lack of respect for the poor people
of this country.
“My major interest is not in being a candidate or becoming
the president of Nigeria but finding a solution to various challenges plaguing
the country,” George added.
