A PDP chieftain in Lagos, Chief Bode George has said the former Governor of Lagos State and one of the national leaders of APC has been trying too hard to be like Late Pa Awolowo. He says no matter how hard he tries, TInubu will always fail, because the difference between both of them is very clear. Awolowo gave free education to the people, but Tinubu has only been enriching himself, he said.
He also mocked him for trying to wear is cap like that of Awolowo, wearing a glass that looks like his, and criticized him for always doing the peace sign. Chief George made these statements while addressing journalists during a meeting with beneficiaries of a scheme by the Federal Institute of Industrial Research, Oshodi.
“People like papa Lateef Jakande, General Mobolaji Johnson would be spinning wherever they are. Tinubu said he did a one-million-man march but that it is a joke.
“For 16 years they (APC) took us to a bridge that led us nowhere and now we are looking for the road to freedom because they have taken us to a point that future generations will not forgive them for.
“Papa Awolowo did so much for the Western region and the nation’s education and that is why every March 6, we remember him. The hood does not make a monk. He (Tinubu) started wearing round glasses, wearing papa’s caps and raising two fingers but he has forgotten the two fingers now,” he said.
He however also said it was hypocritical of Tinubu to sue AIT and urged the Judiciary to be fair in the case as he had once been a victim of a wrong conviction.
