Ex-APC spokesman slams Bode George's comment against Atiku

George was criticised for his past judicial troubles and his 2009 conviction by the Lagos High Court on 23 counts of abuse of office and contract splitting.

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has strongly criticised former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Deputy National Chairman (South), Chief Olabode George, for his recent remarks against former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

George had claimed that Atiku would not become Nigeria's president in 2027, a statement that Frank has dismissed as both presumptuous and misguided.

In a statement released in Abuja on Thursday, August 29, Frank accused George of overstepping his bounds by attempting to predict Nigeria's political future.

"George should continue to wallow in self-delusion and ego trip," Frank remarked, asserting that George lacks the authority to determine who will lead the nation in 2027.

Frank further criticised George for his past judicial troubles, pointing out that a Lagos High Court convicted him in 2009 on 23 counts of abuse of office and contract splitting.

Although George was later acquitted by the Supreme Court in 2013, Frank suggested that these past issues disqualify him from making authoritative statements on national matters.

Frank also pointed out George's previous declarations against President Bola Tinubu, highlighting the contradiction in his predictions.

"This is a man who swore that Tinubu would not win the 2023 presidential election and even vowed to renounce his Nigerian citizenship and go into exile if Tinubu became President," Frank noted.

Frank emphasised that the fate of Nigeria's presidency in 2027 is not in George's hands but in those of God and the Nigerian people.

"If God says Atiku will be President in 2027, a thousand Olabode Georges living on Supreme Court's magnanimity cannot annul it," he stated, urging George to cease his attacks on Atiku and focus on his own political miscalculations.
