Chief Olabode George, a former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticised those calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to declare the late Chief MKO Abiola as a President posthumously.

According to him, the move may result in a constitutional crisis.

Despite giving the late Abiola, the presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election the highest title in the country, Grand Commander of Federal Republic (GCFR), and declaring June 12 as replacement for May 29 as Democracy day, there has been sustained call on President Buhari to declare Abiola as president.

Reacting, George urged those making the calls not to plunge the nation into crisis, saying President Buhari had done enough by immortalising the late Abiola.

He told Daily Independent yesterday: “Why are people talking like this? Is President Buhari the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)? So, President Buhari will now declare Abiola as a former President of Nigeria because he is President? We are throwing so many things into this issue.

“There are many bigger problems in this country. We are going to use that as a red letter day. Have we learnt any lessons from the fall-out of June 12? Those are things we should celebrate. What has happened has happened, can we reverse anything by saying they should declare Abiola as a former president?

Hmm.... Inasmuch as Abiola deserves all the honour, alive or dead. ......I still see all these as diversionary misplaced priority at this point in time.

That is true.
INEC is the only body empowered to do so.

Though Bode is saying this out of jealous of Buhari popularity among Yorubas. Imaging Obasanjo (self acclaim Yoruba leader) spent 8 Years but couldn't do this for a man from his tribe.

Yes bitchessssss

Yorubas fighting themselves.

What is Bode George's problem MKO Abiola won the June-12 1993 presidential election with an over whelming majority nationwide.

Since the then military junta of the likes of IBB, Abacha & even Buhari were involved in the annulment, it's now imperative that Abiola be declear president even post humously regardless of acknowleding June-12 as Democracy Day.

Una head don scratch ground

Bode George is right on this one.

To do so will be contract-splitting!

Not quite! Only shows the Yoruba ability to think-out-of-the box!

I don't talk with ex-convicts and political retirees. He should go and discuss with his fellow ex-convicts and political retirees e.g. Obasanjo

why did we hate d truth?

of wat benefit is this to the abiola family? or do u want d family to sue d federal govt since d president has declared there father winner over some unaccredited benefit?

PDP always crying like re.tarded dogs

Words of an ex convict

To be forewarned is to be forearmed the president's antecedents proves he is capable of anything..

Before the end of Buhari's regime.... We will have enough DEMOCRACY DAYS to celebrate......

Na dem

Which one is thick match again??

Abiola's killers won't like it. Maybe that's why.

If only people will see reasons with Bode George before castigating him.

You people should allow the dead to rest in peace.

BAD BELLE/YANSH PEOPLE

And Bode George is the Attorney General of the Federation to give Legal advice. The same advice he gave to his friend that sleeps with his daughters Obasanjo, which eventually landed him (Bode George) in jail.
