Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State, Chief Bode George, has told the national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, that no matter how hard he tries, he will never be like the late Yoruba icon, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
George, who stated this while addressing newsmen on the sideline of a meeting with beneficiaries of a scheme by the Federal Institute of Industrial Research, Oshodi, recounted that during his time as premier of the western region, Awolowo ensured free education across the region.
Noting that Tinubu began imitating the late sage by wearing Awolowo’s kind of cap and then wearing round glasses like Awolowo to deceive the people. He stressed that the former governor’s deeds were nothing compared to those carried out by the late sage.
The PDP chieftain, who alleged that Tinubu failed to impact positively on the lives of the people but was only interested in enriching himself, added that, “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.
