Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, has mocked the National Leader of All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over his failed attempt to impose leaders on the National Assembly.
George who spoke in London on Tuesday hailed the emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki as Senate President.
For him, Saraki’s emergence is an indication that the former governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, “is five minutes to his political sunset”.
He said that the election of Saraki and Hon Yakubu Dogara as Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, respectively has proved that national politics is better than zonal politics.
According to him, “Since 1999, the PDP is known for playing national politics and we will continue to do just that, whether we are in the opposition or not. The APC is a congregation of strange bed fellows and Tinubu erroneously still thinks that his party will continue to play the type of politics of imposition he is playing in Lagos.
“As the ruling party at the national level, the game has changed. Tinubu is yet to wake from his politics of imposition. He should quickly realise now that it is five minutes to his political sunset.
“What happened in Abuja today (yesterday) is a welcome development for national and rational politics. Tinubu and his fellow dreamers have zoned themselves to total irrelevance. This is a sign of more things to come.”
