A former National Vice President of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, said he would not attend the inauguration and swearing-in of President-elect Bola Tinubu.

George said that he will not attend not because he hated the person Tinubu but because he [Bode] represents the truth and also the fact that he is not a member of the APC.
“As a civilised and indefatigable Nigerian who has been trained by this nation both in the military, it’s not about Bode George, the question is, will the country be happy?
“Well, when they[the Supreme Court]deliver the judgement we’ll read it and our lawyers will interpret it for us. But to say that I’ll now physically carry myself to the swearing-in, when it’s not even my party, for the celebration of what?
“I pray that God will work on their[Supreme Court judges] minds because prayer is more powerful than ordinary human power. As Christian we must say the truth… It’s only the truth that’ll set you free. That’s what God wants us to do.
“I want to appear there on the day of resurrection. I want to be able to stand up to my creator. If they invite me I won’t go because it’s not my party. I don’t hate Bola. He’s not my enemy but we’re talking about issues that affect our nation.”
