PDP Chieftain Bode George
has expressed his shock after Billionaire Femi Otedola over the weekend
endorsed APC Lagos State Governorship aspirant, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Sanwo-Olu had visited
Otedola at home, and the Forte Oil boss, in a statement on his instagram page
endorsed him as the incoming governor of Lagos State.
However, in a telephone
interview with Bode George, conducted by a Punch correspondent, the chieftain
expressed bewilderment at Otedola’s support for the APC candidate.
He said, “That is news to
me. That is very interesting. Wonders will never cease. It is very shocking.”
When asked to comment on
Otedola’s purported governorship ambition, George stated, “He has always been
with us (PDP). I will call him. I will find out. That is strange.”
He, however, added that
Otedola’s endorsement of the opposition would not influence the strategies of
the PDP in Lagos.
The PDP chieftain said,
“No, it doesn’t affect our strategies towards 2019 because he is not in our
camp. But it is shocking. He is my aburo (junior) and I am going to find out
from him what made him (endorse Sanwo-Olu).
“But he is a thoroughbred
Lagosian and the people Bola (Tinubu) is handpicking are all from Ogun State.
Is that what he wants for his state? I will ask him.”
