Former deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Bode George said that he does not hate the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and that when he lost his son, Tinubu wrote a beautiful letter to him.
Chief Bode George made the statement in an interview with Arise News during the Morning Show program and Reuben Abati asked him that now that the President-elect has called for an inclusive government, will he go if Tinubu invites him to Abuja for the inauguration on May 29 and congratulate him.
Chief Bode George first said that Reuben Abati tickled him with the question, however. He said that he will not go to the celebration because it is not his party.
Bode George added that he does not hate Tinubu as a person and that as a Christian, he does not have right to hate anybody. In fact he said that when he lost his son, Tinubu wrote a beautiful letter to him, so he does not hate him as individual but if he invites him to Abuja, he will not go.
“…If Tinubu invite me, I won’t go because it is not my party and you know it will be party celebration but let me say this, Bola is not my enemy, I don’t hate him as a human being, I have no right to hate anybody. When I lost my so he wrote me a beautiful letter but we are talking about issues that affect our nation. That’s all”
