Femi Fani-Kayode: Bode George has personal ‘axe to grind’ with Bola Tinubu
Bode George, the former national vice chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is advised by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode to learn to appreciate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC's presidential candidate, at this point in Nigeria's political history.

In an interview on Wednesday, George made fun of Tinubu and the ruling party for the state of the country, claiming the former governor of Lagos State, who wasted resources when he was in charge, cannot be trusted with the country.

Chief Fani-Kayode responded to the PDP chieftain's statement by saying it is upsetting to see such an elder statesman make such blatant statements, particularly against a political rival who has demonstrated for many years that he is a force to be reckoned with in Nigeria's democracy.

Fani-Kayode, who appeared as a guest on a Channels programme, asserted that Chief George has animosity toward Tinubu on a personal level.

“Bode George is having personal issues with Bola Tinubu, it is very clear first of all that Chief Bode George has some kind of personal axe to grind with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

“And for me, it is really tragic, seeing an elders statesman and somebody I have immense respect for to stand on TV or sit on television and begin to use words like clown and others against a man that has been a contemporary of his over the years.

“They may have political differences but to bring such personal animosity into a political arena is something that gives me deep concern.

“I think he is obsessed, I think he is virtually delusional. I think that his hatred for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has beclouded his judgement.

“I think, frankly speaking, there is nothing that Asiwaju can ever do to appeal or please people like Chief Bode George.

“He has made up his mind that Asiwaju is a demon. He has made up his mind that he will never support him. He’s made up his mind that he will demonise him for the rest of his life and that’s okay because it really doesn’t matter to us,” Fani-Kayode asserted.

He further stated that the most important thing for the APC is what the electorates think and what they will do, not the delusions and obsessions of Chief Bode George regarding the party and its presidential candidate.
