Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress has called on Lagos stakeholders to broker peace between Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Bode George, a national leader of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement on Facebook, Igbokwe stated that Bola Tinubu needs everybody including Bode George to forge ahead.
He called on stakeholders to reconcile the two big wigs, who have been in political war since 1999.
The APC chieftain also said George should stop attacking Tinubu and admit that the APC national leader is better.
He pointed out that the former Military governor of Ondo State needs to stop wasting his time and effort on political division with Tinubu.
The statement was titled “Let us reconcile Asiwaju and Bode George.”
“On this day of Sunday November 14 2021 I want to appeal to well-meaning, eminent and prominent Lagosians to put heads together and work out a solution to address the political divisions between Asiwaju BAT and Lagos big boy, former Military Governor of Ondo State , Chief Bode George since 1999,” he wrote.
“In our own very eyes since 1999 till date, all the PDP political heavyweights in Lagos PDP have crossed over to AD, AC, ACN and APC except Chief Bode George. To all intents and purposes Bode George has tried. He has shown that he is a man who can take a stand and hold on to it.
“No doubt, Oga Bode George has proved that he is a man but he cannot continue to waste his precious gift of time on acrimony and division. Oga Bode George should weigh all options now and do the needful.
“To continue to attack a man like Asiwaju who has built bridges across Nigeria, East, West, North or South will remain an exercise in futility. We should be bold enough to admit when someone does better us. All fingers are not equal Oga mi. Ka agba fun leader.
