The Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, has commended the emergence of
Senator Bukola Saraki as Senate President.
George, who spoke in London, said Saraki’s emergence is an
indication that the former governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, “is five minutes to his
political sunset”. To the PDP chieftain, Saraki’s election and that of the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, “has proved that
national politics is better than zonal politics.”
“Since 1999, the PDP is known for playing national politics
and we will continue to do just that, whether we are in the opposition or
not. “The APC is a congregation of
strange bed fellows and Tinubu erroneously still thinks that his party will
continue to play the type of politics of imposition he is playing in Lagos.
“As the ruling party at the national level, the game has
changed. Tinubu is yet to wake from his politics of imposition. He should
quickly realise now that it is five minutes to his political sunset.
“What happened in Abuja today (yesterday) is a welcome
development for national and rational politics. Tinubu and his fellow dreamers
have zoned themselves to total irrelevance. This is a sign of more things to
come.”
