Bode George Attacks Tinubu, Says He Has No School Certificates to Tender for 2023 Presidency
Former Deputy National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, may have stirred the hornets’ nest again alleging that former Lagos State Governor and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, is not academically qualified to be president in Nigeria. He says Asiwaju “has no school certificates to tender to Nigerians.”
George also alleged that the APC National Leader shared “humongous” amounts of money to himself from the Lagos State government monthly.
The PDP chieftain, who was reacting to a former Minister of Works, Adeseye Ogunlewe’s remark that Tinubu was the best person to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023, spoke on Arise TV on Wednesday.
Ogunlewe had said Tinubu was the most qualified and mentally capable to take over power from Buhari.
However, George, who is a member of the PDP Board of Trustees, said the former Governor of Lagos State had no certificate.
George declared: “Tinubu has stolen humongous amounts of money from Lagos State and continues to do so every month. Ogunlewe is talking nonsense by saying that he is the best man to lead this country?
“Go and look at the archives to hear what this same Ogunlewe said about Tinubu not too long ago. I am shocked that Ogunlewe would be saying this in public.
“Ogunlewe knows that Tinubu can’t tender his school certificates because he doesn’t have them.”
