A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, has revealed that President Bola Tinubu sent his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, to beg him after emerging as president.
Naija News recalls that George had vowed to leave Nigeria during the 2023 campaign and presidential election if Tinubu became president.
Featuring on Arise TV’s Morning Show on Wednesday, George spoke regarding his threat to vacate Nigeria if Tinubu won the 2023 presidential election, noting that Tinubu sent Gbajabiamila to pacify him against leaving Nigeria because they had wronged him.
According to the PDP chieftain, Gbajabiamila came with options, pleading that they were sorry.
He said, “During the campaign period, I stated and meant it that if Tinubu won that election, I was going to get out. Once they heard that, Tinubu sent his Chief of Staff, Gbajabiamila.
“He came and said ‘Ogbon said please just be calm, trying to beg. They came with options that they were sorry because they knew they had wronged me.”
