A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Timi Frank has told a former Deputy National Chairman (South) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George that he lacks the power to decide the political future of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Frank said this on Thursday while reacting to George’s tantrum on Atiku to wait till 2031 for his Presidential ambition as PDP would also field a southern candidate for 2027. He added that he lacks the powers to determine who becomes Nigeria’s President in 2027.
“How can a man living at the mercy of the Supreme Court assume the position of God?
“Recall that a Lagos High Court had, in 2009, convicted George, who was also former chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority, and five others on a 23 count charge of abuse of office and contract splitting. He was discharged and acquitted by the Supreme Court in 2013.
“How can a mortal probably already at the departure lounge as it is common to all mortals claim to know the outcome of political events that are still very remote?
“This is a man who vowed that he will renounce his Nigerian citizenship and go on self-exile to Ghana if Tinubu becomes President and watch Nigerians from his “binoculars” from that neighbouring West African country.
“This is a man who said on Arise Television interview in 2022 that he can bet any amount of money on Tinubu not having educational certificates.
“If God says Atiku will be President in 2027, a thousand Olabode George living on Supreme Court’s magnanimity cannot annul it.
“Besides, George has never supported Atiku in any election but he has always won his primary and emerged the candidate of the PDP”, he said.
