Chief Bode George, a former Deputy National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and strong critic of Bola Tinubu, has praised the President for starting well as Nigeria’s President.
He said Tinubu in the first three weeks in office had done reasonably well.
Chief George stated this in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday night.
According to him, the early days of Tinubu as the Nigerian leader are not perfect, but reasonably better than his time as the Lagos State governor between May 1999 and May 2007.
The PDP chieftain, however, said the President must manage the people and the country’s resources well.
He stated, “The major difference between Bola and I is his methodology, his managerial style, is unlike me.
“I have a background in the military and I am a logistician in the military. You don’t carry your men to war without adequately doing your serious planning, intelligence gathering.”
He said the Tinubu administration in the last three weeks had done well.
George said, “It is not a 100-metre race. He (Tinubu) is to manage his people and manage the resources of this country for the betterment of this country. He is just starting off.”
The PDP leader also said, “It’s not perfect but reasonable. At least, it is better than what we had known before when he was in Lagos. Maybe he was much younger at that time and no experience but now, Lagos is not Abuja.”
George also said he would take permission from the PDP should the President approach him to work together for the good of the country.
He, however, expressed confidence that the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar would emerge victorious at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja.
