Timi Frank, a former All Progressives Congress (APC) deputy national publicity secretary, informed Chief Olabode George, a former PDP deputy national chairman (South), that he was powerless to determine former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s political destiny.
According to reports, George advised Atiku to hold off on running for president until 2031, stating that the main opposition party would likewise put up a southern candidate.
But in a message released on Thursday, Frank instructed George to keep living a delusional and egotistical life.
He went on to say that he had no authority to choose Nigeria’s president for 2027.
Frank said: “How can a man living at the mercy of the Supreme Court assume the position of God?
“Recall that a Lagos High Court had, in 2009, convicted George, who was also former chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority, and five others on a 23 count charge of abuse of office and contract splitting. He was discharged and acquitted by the Supreme Court in 2013.
“How can a mortal probably already at the departure lounge as it is common to all mortals claim to know the outcome of political events that are still very remote?
“This is a man who vowed that he will renounce his Nigerian citizenship and go on self-exile to Ghana if Tinubu becomes President and watch Nigerians from his “binoculars” from that neighbouring West African country.
“This is a man who said on Arise Television interview in 2022 that he can bet any amount of money on Tinubu not having educational certificates.
“If God says Atiku will be President in 2027, a thousand Olabode George living on Supreme Court’s magnanimity cannot annul it.
“Besides, George has never supported Atiku in any election but he has always won his primary and emerged the candidate of the PDP.”
