A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Bode George has expressed admiration for President Bola Tinubu’s first weeks in office, arguing it was better than his time as Lagos State governor between May 1999 and May 2007.

Chief George who is a former Deputy Chairman of the PDP told Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday that it is too early to give any concrete assessment of Tinubu’s administration, although he averred that, “It’s not perfect but reasonable. At least, it is better than what we had known before when he was in Lagos. Maybe he was much younger at that time and had no experience but now, Lagos is not Abuja.”

On if he is willing to work with Tinubu, Chief George said he would need permission from the PDP should the President approach him to work for the good of the country. He reiterated his membership of the PDP but said he is not an enemy of the president despite their agelong political rivalry.

“The major difference between Bola and I is his methodology, his managerial style, is unlike mine. I have a background in the military and I was a logistician in the military. You don’t carry your men to war without adequately doing your serious planning, intelligence gathering,” the PDP chieftain said.

Nonetheless, he said he was sure that his party and its candidate in the February 25 poll, Atiku Abubakar would emerge victorious at the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal in Abuja.

“Let’s wait for the outcome of the judiciary. The process is not over. The day the process is over and the court pronounces him as the President, we have no way to fight but to pray for Nigeria,” he said.
