A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank has told a former Deputy National Chairman (South) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George lacks the power to decide the political future of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
TheHintsNews reports that George had told Atiku to wait till 2031 if he must contest for Presidency in 2027.
He added that the main opposition party would also field a southern candidate in 2027 because that is the reality of the country.
However, Frank in a statement issued Thursday said Atiku’s hope for the future is on God and the generality of Nigerians and not on George and his ilk now seeking patronage and political relevance from the powers be by taking up the role of a fake prophet.
Frank said: “How can a mortal probably already at the departure lounge as it is common to all mortals claim to know the outcome of political events that are still very remote?
“This is a man who vowed that he will renounce his Nigerian citizenship and go on self exile to Ghana if Tinubu becomes President and watch Nigerians from his “binoculars” from that neighbouring West African country.
“This is a man who said on Arise Television interview in 2022 that he can bet any amount of money on Tinubu not having educational certificates.
“As far as Nigerians are concerned, George is no longer a Nigerian by reason of the fact that Tinubu is President.
“Let him enjoy his new found home instead of attacking Atiku as a ploy to walk his way into Tinubu’s heart apparently for crumbs now that he appears hungry and politically forgotten and empty.”
“If God says Atiku will be President in 2027, a thousand Olabode George living on Supreme Court’s magnanimity cannot annul it.
“Besides, George has never supported Atiku in any election but he has always won his primary and emerge candidate of the PDP.”
“Let him rest easy, Atiku’s hope for the future is on God and the generality of Nigerians and not on George and his ilk now seeking patronage and political relevance from the powers be by taking up the role of a fake prophet.”
