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.

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.

keep quiet and stop this mess of using Tinubu's name to shine you guys kept on repeating. Are you so blind or bewitched that one man remote control the minds of a huge percentage of a tribe and people are not able to decipher that.
During one of his campaigns in Lagos, infront of thousands of people, he put his hands inside his agbada pocket, brought out his handkerchief, waving it on vigorously before the lagosians crowd, he said to them,
"Do you see the handkerchief I am holding", the crowd shouted ye. He gave out an evil ridden smile with his eyes popping out in a great bulging, like that of an old wounded owl. He went ahead and said to the crowd,
"This handkerchief is Lagos people"
The people ignorantly applauded him not even understanding where he was going.
He put the handkerchief inside his pocket and said lastly, "Lagosians are right inside my pocket". This statement was made on a live Tv during one of his campaigns at Vining Church field near police barrack ikeja. Are you also bewitched? A land where one MAN controls the destiny of a tribe and some of his tribal people will castigating other few tribes men that got the voice to tell them the Truth.

What fucking truth guy? Are you mad.
That was the truth you were telling in 2015 and we voted buhari. Bastards...The peace in Lagos just okay for us. Everybody makes money and can become anything. We are not in anarchy like the north or confused like the east because we have just a single leader, who is a thief and we like it like that.

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.

flokii:
Same way Anambra, Abia, Enugu, Imo and Ebonyi are for Nigerians and not Igbos.

Reason Yorubas, Hausas, Fulanis etc. must move out to the above mentioned states and demand for posts as Nigerians. You think say you wise ba?

IamWonderful:
Are you talking about viable Lagos or inviable Ebonyi?

35824L:
Only Ipobs will take the ex-convict seriously.

0taPiaPia:
You my friend is an idiot

bigfish3k:
You lack understanding
Have those places ever been capital?
If you make any of them capital it automatically belongs to all Nigerians

YOU PEOPLE ARE FOOLS, WHY THIS HATRED AND DIVISION??

WE'RE ALL BLACK PEOPLE, LET LOVE REIGN, IN LOVE AND HARMONY COMES DEVELOPMENT.

PLEASE FOR ONCE. TRIBALISM FAVOURS NO ONE

AH BLACK MAN.

bigfish3k:
I mean lagosians not yorubas
You can't leave your state and be claiming Lagos

Lagos is for Nigerians and lagosians not for Yorubas

PrecisionFx:
Bode George no be governor of Lagos so he couldn't have made pdp non-yoruba pple to win any election.

Meanwhile lagos is not yoruba land

MrColdsweat:
This is almost impossible.

Simple Machiavellian strategy.

He who has monopoly over violence, controls the state.

There's a reason touts are continuously imported to Lagos from Ibadan and other parts of yorubaland.

Efcc cannot even go to ikoyi and pick up tinubu.

He has held the state hostage with his touts.

If you try to use the polls to remove his stooges in power, his touts will disrupt the election by harassing voters or snatching ballot boxes.

The real Lagosians are in a very tight corner.
