Was it not under this same Bode George and his PDP that non- yorubas got elected into the house of assembly both state and federal?
This man is suffering from Tinubuphobia.

UdechiHD:
When did Lagos become the capital of Yorubaland? Ibadan as far we remember is regional capital of the SW. Lagos is our national commonwealth and would remain so till the end. And moreover, if anyone should decide the fate of Lagos, it is it's indigenes — the likes of Bode George etc, not foreigners from Irabiiji.
Tinubu who introduced division and sectarianism in 21st century Lagos will live and see Lagos return back to what it was.

OkutaNla:
Lol. Ode George must always use Tinubu name to shine and stay relevant.

PigTormentor:
Stupid elewon. The same man that claims Tinubu is not from Lagos is the same man that presented 5 Igbos for the Lagos state house of assembly in 2015 and 2019. I wonder what part of Lagos those came from.
I'm a true child of Lagos and son of Lagos State . I'll stand with Tinubu any day any time before I'll stand with the fools in the PDP including this old convict.

zombieTRACKER:
Tinubu is a bloody thief...
Who sees Lagos as his personal property

His political end is eminent
I dont expect zombies to have any qualms with Godfatherism... They will always need a puppet master to pull their strings..

flokii:
Are you minding the foolish old man?

If left for people like Bode Goerge, GEJ and his Igbo cabinet would have removed the Yoruba race completely from Nigeria's politics. Even Eko would have been lost to outsiders under guise of party.

Although noone is perfect but Tinubu is a quality leader just like pa Awolowo and other great Yoruba sons. It's because of him that Yorubas have key positions in government today. Bode George is just a nuisance that lacks leadership sense, only whipping sentiment here and there.

The ship has sailed, by 2023 only Yorubas will occupy. legislative seats and governmemt. positions in South West (Yorubaland). Any igbo that wants to take part in politics should go back to alaigbo and rule over his/her people.

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Chief Olabode George, a former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said the year 2023 will be the end of the political dynasty in Lagos that has been holding the citizens hostage since the return of democratic rule in 1999.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with INDEPENDENT, George who is the Atona Oodua of Yorubaland said the ‘O to Ge’ Movement that ended the Saraki political dynasty in Kwara state will happen in Lagos in 2023.

He particularly singled out Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos and national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) whom he accused of being a stranger but has appropriated all the resources of the state for his use.

“By 2023, I will be getting closer to 80. We will invoke the spirit of our forefathers. O to ge! We will do whatever is humanly possible to get those things back to the people.

“He (Tinubu) will not sit down in his room and be dictating who will be Speaker, Governor, senators and all that. We will invoke the spirit of the founding fathers, the original people of Lagos against all these greedy people”.

George who lamented the suffering of Lagosians, especially civil servants in the state also condemned the outrageous retirement benefits of governors in the state beginning from Tinubu, saying civil servants who served the state government meritoriously for 35 years don’t receive one per cent of what the governors get as retirement benefits.

“After appropriating all the resources of Lagos to themselves, when they retire, go and see their retirement benefits. Even civil servants who retire after 35 years don’t get one per cent of what they receive as retirement benefits.

“Two big houses in posh areas in Lagos, two big houses in posh areas in Abuja, apart from the number of cars they will be buying and changing for them every year. Common!
“If the late Brig.Gen. Mobolaji Johnson had done that if Papa Lateef Jakande did that and all the other governors had done that, what will be left. What is political management in this democratic dispensation? It is the complete management of the resources of that land for the benefit of the people, not for himself or his family. Enough is enough! O To Ge”.

“Lagos is like New York, a melting pot and the culture of Lagos people because it is a trading port, we respect people and don’t discriminate. Anybody who brings his wares to Lagos to sell will make the money and we are happy.

“Even if you want to land, we give you land to build your house and give you a sense of belonging; but then there must be that modicum of respect for our culture.

“Presently, the governor of Lagos, his deputy, the three senators, the Speaker, all the principal officers, Head of Service, the SSG is not Lagosians. It doesn’t happen in any state of this country except Lagos. It is not fair. We’ve had governors in the past who are not Lagosians but they will pay homage to the owners of the land,” he said.

But why are your leaders always ex convicts?

Mo3891:
Because they are brave enough to fight for our collective right unlike cowards who run and let millions of their people die.. many years after the cowards are not remembered while the brave heroes get rail stations named after them, currency used in immotalising them and their kinsmen enjoying power unlike the marginalised people

BI ERU BAPE NILE, YI O MA BAWON SE EPE ALAJOBI. Let's divide Nigeria and see how you work-out Lagos to yourself. Even Abuja, you will not get Shingbain despite owning many high-rise buildings there.
South Africa pls continue killing them before they begin to tell you you both own it.

I mean lagosians not yorubas
You can't leave your state and be claiming Lagos

Lagos is for Nigerians and lagosians not for Yorubas

hajimosho:
Chief Bode George, a serial loser in the politics of Lagos state has shown to the owners of the Land that he lacks moral and respect for them by handing out through purchase, the tickets of House of representatives, State House of Assembly, and LG chairmanship to people who have lost morals in the search of wealth and holds no connection and ancestral lineage or link traceable to any subgroup, whether Awori, Ijebus, Badagry and others or the Culture of the Yoruba people, at large.

He has numerously favoured them with positions of authority without possessing any clout or control over them. These people after getting these buyout, condescend low to attack, disregard and alienate every indigenes of the Land.

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on the other hand, has brought together the Yorubas under a long-term political strategy that transcends beyond subdivisions and subgroups while making total reference to the Oba of Lagos and other notable traditional rulers of the state.
