I was shocked to read that Gov Akala of Oyo state was at Kirikiri prison to receive the ex-con Bode George on his release from prison.

What a shame on our dear state ? Is it that people's votes don't count again that an 'elected' official would stoop so low ?

May God help us .

At about 10.30am Saturday morning,   the convicted former chairman of Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) and ex- deputy national chairman of the PDP , Chief Olabode Ibiyinka George was released after serving a two-year jail term at the Kirikiri maximum prisons, Apapa, Lagos.

George who was with his wife, Roli and children was clad in a flowing white Agbada and cap to match.

He was joined at the prisons for his release by the Oyo State Governor, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala who arrived Kirikiri at 9.50am and PDP governorship candidate in Lagos state, Dr. Ade Dosunmu who came in at 10.15am.

Loyalists and supporters of the PDP stalwart had thronged the prisons as early as 5.am  with brigade and live bands to welcome George.

The Kirikiri environ was also adorned with posters and banners with different inscriptions praising and saluting George whose incarceration they said in some of the banners was politically motivated.

George who is now being referred to by PDP members as "The Joseph of Our Time"  upon regaining his freedom was also kept away from people amid tight security.

Apart from the wife and children of the ex-NPA chairman and some eminent personalities like Alao- Akala and Dosumu, no other person was allowed to see him before he was released.

Security operatives who cordoned off the area told people that they have an instruction from the Lagos State Police Command that only four vehicles should be allowed into the prisons premises.

The vehicles whose numbers had been left with the security at the entrance were two saloon cars and two SUVs, supposedly conveying George and his family members.

George who drove in a long convoy of family, friends and supporters however left Kirikiri straight for the thanksgiving service since slated for 12noon at the Christ Church Cathedral, Marina, Lagos.

Meanwhile, the  convicted five others had been released as early as 6am Saturday morning. They were said to have left that early because of their flights that had been scheduled for the early hours of Saturday.

The five others are former CEO of NPA , Mallam Aminu Dabo, O. Abidoye, Abdullahi Tafida, Zanna Maideribe and Sule Aliyu.

Sad
