Bode George: With Saraki’s Emergence,
Tinubu is Five Minutes to His Political
Sunset

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief
Olabode George
Former Deputy National Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief
Olabode George, has hailed 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.”
