A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Timi Frank has told a former Deputy National Chairman (South) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George that he lacks the power to decide the political future of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
DAILY POST reports that George had told Atiku to wait till 2031 if he intends to contest for President in 2027, adding that the main opposition party would also field a southern candidate.
However, Frank in a statement issued Thursday told George to continue to wallow in self-delusion and ego trip.
He added that he lacks the powers to determine who becomes the President of Nigeria in 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.”
You lack power to decide Atiku’s fate in 2027- Timi Frank to Bode George
