PDP leader in Lagos state, Chief Bode George says he will be leading a massive campaign against the APC in Lagos so that his party's flagbearer, Jimi Agbaje can win the April 11th Governorship election. Speaking with Punch yesterday April 2nd , Bode George said
"I am here and I will be at the center of operation. The people of Lagos also want a change and we are going to be here to lead the battle. The battle is on and the people of Lagos want a change and we will ensure that we get it right. Lagos people know that this administration has mismanaged their resources. We are not leaving anything undone. We will reach out to the people during the campaigns.”
In the interview, Bode George denied saying that he would be going on exile because Buhari won presidential election. According to him, he would only be taking a long holiday to finish writing his autobiography.
"I have been travelling long before now and now I need a long rest. I am 70 and I need to tidy up my memoirs and if you want to do that, you need a lot of time away from all of the hassles. But it does not mean I will no longer be a Nigerian. I have no personal grudge against Buhari or all the other people. We are in two different parties with different ideologies and if he is the President, I have no objection and I wish him the best of luck. The break will give me time. Rather than running up and down to Abuja, I will be there (abroad) writing my memoirs and doing other things for myself. Of course I will come back, my mother is still alive. I am not scampering out of Nigeria.”
