A former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Bode George, has warned the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, against manipulating the emergence of the next Ooni of Ife.

Following the passage of Oba Okunade Sijuwade, ruling houses in Ife, Osun State, will meet as part of the process of picking a new monarch.

However, George, who is the Atona Oodua of Yoruba land, told our correspondent during an interview, on Monday, that Tinubu should not use his relationship with the Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, to manipulate the process.

George said Tinubu should have learnt from the recent National Assembly crisis that undue interference in the affairs of established institutions could spell doom.

He said, “He will be making attempts to manipulate the process. They will do politics with it but it will blow up. They should allow the kingmakers to do their work. If he manipulates the process, he will create a huge problem in Yoruba land.

“Let him allow the kingmakers do their job. He should not set Yoruba land on fire. Aregbesola should, instead, focus on paying salaries.”

Ife is considered to be a stronghold of the PDP in Osun State.

When asked to react to the late Ooni’s closeness to former President Goodluck Jonathan, George said it had nothing to do with the process of the emergence of a king which is a sacred process.

George said the politics of Ife was not like that of Lagos and Tinubu should not set a bad precedence in Yoruba land.

“He (Tinubu) tried it at the National Assembly but came back with a slap. He should, therefore, not go out of his way to bring in an APC-inclined man as the next Ooni. We want an Ooni that will be fair and not connected with all these politicians.

“We need an experienced person. We want the person that the kingmakers will approve of. As the Atona Oodua, I know how these things are done.”

George urged President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that the South-East produced the next Secretary to the Federal Government.

The PDP leader said doing otherwise would make the people of the geopolitical zone feel left out.

However, Tinubu’s spokesperson, Mr. Sunday Dare could not be reached for comment.

Laughing in Swahili

Tinubu has destroyed Bode George's self esteem and stolen his manhood to such extent that if a mosquito bites Bode George, it's Bola Tinubu,When bode George stop menstruating, Tinubu is the cause, if they serve him food and their is no salt in it, he will accuse Tinubu of foul play. Baba Bode George is only envious and angry about the popularity of Tinubu. The deceased Oni was a pure PDP man and if they(in Osun) wanna have APC Oni now, there is nothing wrong with that. He can wail from now till forever, the Jagaban will remain more relevant than him in the political arena of Nigeria..

There is no way Tinubu can't influence the emergence of the New Ooni of Ife. Aregbesola, Tinubu's boy is the Governor with constitutional right to chose among the 3 nominees by the traditional kingmakers, the same way Obafemi Jeremiah Awolowo influenced the emergence of the demised Oba Okunade Sijuade. BAT influential role is allowed, only if BAT isn't interested.


we all saw what happened in Kano when Lamido Sanusi Lamido emerged.

If Iyiola Omisore was announced to have won the election exactly a year ago, Omisore being the Governor, wouldn't Bode George play an influential role in the emergence of the new Ooni?
Okunade Sijuade was the traditional head of PDP, no problem if APC can turn the table ti their side now.

Moral: Bode George should stop being jealous of Bola Ahmad Tinubu's role.

I will be disappointed if Tinubu reacts to this crap. Anyway it is not easy to gain relevancy in the scheme of work, Baba George try harder.

You guys should leave my jagaban alone oh

I wan try to laugh in the Korean way self

This Tinubu sef and his demeanor.

I wonder even at his near-paralysis state; he still strangles himself to things not worth his future.

Ife people are not lagosians ooooo...

Everybody is afraid of the Jagaban. The man na evil spirit? Jagaban is truly the (Irunmole) evil spirit than eats burger.

I just dnt like tifnibu of a thing

Is there no procedure for selecting ooni?

I thought you all said he's irrelevant why is one of your wailer here crying about how an irrelevant man wants to influence the stuff? confused set of humans

temitemi1:

lolz

This man should just shut up and allow the dead be buried before politics comes 8n as if he will not influence this process if he had the chance! !!

Tinubu is now the Oyomesi of Yorubaland. I laugh my yoruba friends Who allowed a fraudster and drug peddler to desecrate their land.

...like say im no de intrested in fixin his own preferred candidate! Dez Fee-Dee-Fee feefle seef

Politicians are funny.

It was ok for Oba Sijuwade to fraternize with PDP but Tinubu should not ensure an APC-inclined Oba is installed. Hypocrisy!

“Let him allow the kingmakers do their job. He should not set Yoruba land on fire. Aregbesola should, instead, focus on paying salaries.”

ECOTERRORS:

Do you prefer James Ibori who is in Oyibo prison with his wife, sister, mistress (another man's wife) and lawyer all for stealing public fund? Or DSP Alams that turned to a woman to escape from London cell? Or Goatluck Jona-daft who knows that stealing is not corruption but has sneaked to Aso Rock to beg Buhari not to send him (Goatluck) to jail as earlier prophesied by Mama Piss. Or Deizaini Alisson-Maduekwe who developed cancer after Goatluck loss the last election due to the billions due stole? Or former CSO to Jona-daft who recently returned 1.5 billion naira to the nation's account out of the several billions he stole under Jona-daft?

When is Bode George going on exile ? I thought he said he will go on exile if Buhari win, now Buhari is the sitting president, no wonder George (PDP) is not man enough, they don't keep to their words just like Doyin Okupe that is bastard for Buhari winning the election.
Aregbesola will surely accept the kingmakers choice the only issue the kingmakers should forward competent and God fearing person to the Governor for approval.

Bode George is suffering from Alzheimher disease.

How is 16yr old PDP or 2yr old APC going to manipulate an institution 1000s of years old?

If that were possible then shame on the entire Yoruba race.

Abeg, someone tell Bode to go and drink his pap and moimoin and leave issues alone. Of all the many ways to console the grieving Ife Chiefs, this old fool threw up an insult on their revered office.

Is Tinubu now 'Ifa'?

Lol. Na only death go separate this Tinubu/George fight.

When did Tinubu become an ifa priest in Ile Ife?

Lagos is yet to get out of the mess his stoog(akiolu) created during 2015 election, so we need to watch closely in order for us not to have another MESS install with the help of tinubu stoog(aregbese) in the heart of yoruba land which is ILE IFE

Rilwayne001:
Tinubu is obviously a nightmare to this Bode George. He should shut up and let the Chiefs follow the due process. Crying after Tinubu to gain relevance in the media is a big joke in his part.

i said few days ago, PDP has turned Tinubu into a deity!
Asiwaju has become sigidi......nise la ma ru'bo fun!

DaBullIT:
Ex convict forming Relevance


How can Tinubu choose a candidate ?

Not everything can be politically controlled abeg

An oracle chooses who is next and if they do mago mago , there'll be consequences

So Broda Bode

Fvck the Shut Up

thank you!!

Unless Tinubu is an oracle. He looks like one!!!
