Tinubu’s alleged apology to Bode George: George seeking relevance – Tinubu’s aide

Chief Bode George's claim that the

national leader of All Progressives

Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,

apologized to him should be taken as the

meditations of a man in search of political

relevance, Mr. Sunday Dare, Media aide to

Tinubu, said yesterday.



Dare told Vanguard yesterday: "Bode

George takes himself too seriously. He is

in search of political relevance, which has

since deserted him."



George, leader of Peoples Democratic

Party, PDP, in Lagos State, was quoted in a

national weekly yesterday as claiming that

Tinubu had, last year at the burial of Alao

Ariseokola in Ibadan, apologized to him

for purportedly conspiring with others to

put him in jail.



He had been quoted as saying: "They

called Bola; he shook my hand and said

he was sorry. It was in public. Since then,

if we meet in public, we greet. But our

concepts of politics are different."



However, responding in a text message to

Vanguard last night, Dare said George's

claim "to seek political rehabilitation

through a bogus claim that Tinubu begged

him for forgiveness is unexpected of a

leader like him.



"Tinubu bears Bode George no ill feelings.

Although Bode George has used every

media interview to attack Tinubu, Tinubu

has hardly responded.



"The task of nation building, presently at

hand, is more urgent than this

distraction."
