I’ve Forgiven Tinubu But Can’t Forget–Bode George
Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, says he has forgiven President-elect Bola Tinubu, but will not forget.
Both men who are from the same part of Lagos have been involved in a rivalry that is over a decade.
Speaking with newsmen, the PDP leader said as a new administration takes over, there is the need for Nigerians to be steadfast in praying for the country.
He insisted that the process that brought in Tinubu was “shambolic”, even as he expressed hope that the judiciary would do justice to the petitions challenging the election.
Daily Trust reports that there was a move to reconcile Tinubu and Bode George recently.
He, however, declared that there is nothing personal between him but insisted he would not congratulate him since the case is still in court.
Real reason I conceded defeat to Buhari – Jonathan
Former President Goodluck Jonathan, has explained why he conceded defeat after losing the 2015 presidential election to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Jonathan said he conceded defeat because he was more interested in Nigeria than himself.
He disclosed this during an interview with Arise Television on Monday.
Jonathan noted that the situation of Buhari handing over to the President-elect, Bola Tinubu was a different situation from his time.
According to Jonathan, he handed over to a different political party unlike what is obtainable today.
He said: “The situation now is different from my time. Buhari is handing over to his own party, unlike my time when I handed over to another time.
“During my time, some of the most senior officers were afraid if the next government would throw all of us into jail without fair hearing.
Obi is my President — Aisha Yesufu
Aisha Yesufu, a social critic and strong supporter of Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, has said the latter is her President.
Yesufu stated this on Monday in a post via her verified Twitter handle.
This comes on the heels of the inauguration of Nigeria’s President-elect, Bola Tinubu, which slated to hold today, Monday, May 29.
Bola Tinubu, 71, was declared winner of the controversial February 25 presidential poll by INEC, with a promise to renew hope – but he faces tough economic and security challenges.
He will take over from two-term President Muhammadu Buhari amid a high inflation rate, record debt levels and increasing cases of kidnap-for-ransom.
Mr Tinubu’s victory is being challenged in court by his two closest rivals (Obi and Atiku).

He also urged the newly sworn-in president to forgive the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
