Buhari's Victory: Bode George Decides To Go Into Exile

The victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s presidential candidate, Gen Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) is already recording political casualties.

Prominent among them is the former deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, who has revealed that he may be going into exile following the victory of Buhari.

George had said in an interview with Vanguard that he would proceed into exile since the APC has won at the federal level. He said, “What will I be doing here? I can decide to go and live anywhere. Look at everyone surrounding him (Buhari).

”So, I am not joking about it, what will I be doing here? At 70, what will I be doing here? All we have been doing to restructure the country has been lost. We have been trying to ensure balance in the polity but all that has gone. What else will I be doing here?”

George has been one of the fiercest critics of the APC and has consistently been at the forefront of the opposition to Buhari.

Meanwhile, the Lagos state PDP gubernatorial candidate, Jimi Agbaje, has told Lagosians not to listen to the rumours going around that he is George’s stooge.
