Jailed Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Chief Bode George is yet to come to terms with the two and half years jail term handed down to him and five others on Monday, by Ikeja High Court.
The embattled former Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) boss was said to have remained pensive since he was brought to the Maximum Prisons, Kirikiri, Lagos.

A source at the Prisons, told Daily Sun on Wednesday that the former military governor of Ondo State had refused to eat all the food served him by the Prison officials.

However, to ensure that he is properly fed, Prison authorities had directed his family to serve him his favourite foods. But the Naval officer, it was learnt, had refused to eat other food except bread and tea, which he took occasionally.

The source, however, did not see anything strange in his behaviour, as it was normal for new convicts to find it difficult to come to terms with the present travails. “He is a first timer. It is only people like the late Gani Fawehinmi that can come to the prison and start eating immediately, Bode George will soon get over it.”
Contrary to the reports that the PDP chieftain and his colleagues had been given prison uniforms, the source said they were yet to be given one.

He said: “We don’t keep uniforms for people like that. We only measure and sew when people of his calibre had been convicted. We don’t pre-empt the Judges, we keep our minds open. So, it is only when persons like that are pronounced guilty that we sew uniforms for them.”

“Who would have imagined that a PDP stalwart like him, would be sent to jail? So, you can see that he has not gotten any uniform.

“As I am talking to you now, the tailor is still sewing his uniform. We only took his measurement today (yesterday) and I know the uniform will be ready by Friday.”
