Tinubu Has To Be Very Careful - Bode George

A former Military Administrator of old Ondo State and a former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olabode Ibiyinka George has advised President Bola Tinubu to be very careful in his policies in office as Abuja is not like Lagos State where he once ruled as governor.

Bode George said Abuja and the Aso Villa does not belong to a particular tribe, noting that history will judge him after leaving office.

The former military administrator said the maximum time he will spend there is eight years and he will leave like General Muhammadu Buhari, asking how will the analysis of his period in governance sound like?

He stated this while speaking on his relationship with the president in an interview recently.

According to him, "There is nothing personal between me and him. In that office, I have worked with five presidents in this country. I worked with General Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha, Olusegun Obasanjo, Umar Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan. Is there anybody else missing that I worked with?.

" I am here now. The pages of history will tell us. I want to give him a little bit of time because here he is.  I want to advise that he has to be very careful. Abuja isn’t Lagos. You have the whole tribe working in that Villa. I will want to remind him that the journey of life is never trouble-free. The ups and downs of life! 

"The maximum time you will spend there is eight years and you will leave. Look at General Muhammadu Buhari, how will the analysis of his period in governance sound like? The insurgency is rising by the hour, the people are hungry.

"If they are not telling the president the truth, there is hunger in the land which means there is anger in the land. What about businesses?

"The cost of diesel and the cost of transportation? If you want to set up a palliative for the people, you can take a cue from the British government. You know what they did? 

"They told the energy supplier to cut down every household, and then we will pay. That is palliative, not small cups of rice. Teach them how to fish so they can feed themselves forever.

"My advice is that it is now time for governance. It is time to know the needs of the people and adequately provide them."

He wrote: “Join the Alubarika Movement TODAY! The economic state of Osun has deteriorated significantly, leaving much to be desired. Since November 2022, the governance trajectory under the PDP - Adeleke's administration has been marked by declining performance and weakening fiscal stability. The Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) is alarmingly poor, riddled with inefficiencies and systemic leakages that divert public funds into private hands. Distressingly, Osun now lags behind Ekiti State in critical metrics such as fiscal discipline, financial policy, IGR growth, governance standards, and adherence to due process. The economic framework inherited by this administration in 2022 was both ...
