Tinubu: Onanuga will pay for insulting Obasanjo – Bode George
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George has said President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga would pay for insulting former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Obasanjo had described Nigeria under Tinubu as a failing state while highlighting the pervasive corruption and leadership failure under Tinubu’s administration.
Condemning Obasanjo’s remark, Onanuga said the former president was
not an ideal Nigerian leader.
Onanuga faulted Obasanjo for taking to the public media to “bestow his unsolicited wisdom on leadership and governance in Nigeria.”
Onanuga noted that former President Obasanjo had continued to blame those who served after his tenure for the nation’s myriad of challenges even when he had his many flaws.
Reacting, George said Onanuga would be made to pay for insulting an elder because it’s not allowed in Yoruba land.
Featuring on Nigeria Info FM, George said: “An old man who could be Bayo Onanuga’s father said something and you took him on by blasting him right; left and centre.
“That is his style because he did it to me before, he didn’t meet me in Ijebu Ode Grammar school.
“You can see how small he is when comparing himself to us, people give their opinion and you insult them.
“Even if you want to react, the Yoruba culture does not allow that insult from him.
“Someday he would pay back, in Yoruba land it’s not impossible for him (Onanuga) to be charmed because there would be a day after and that’s more important. He should be vigilante as he walks because it’s possible for him to be charmed.”
