Bode George to Nigerians: Give Tinubu one more year to fix country

A former military Governor of Ondo State and chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George has urged to Nigerians to give President Bola Tinubu one more year to fulfill his campaign promises and fix the country’s challenges.

The former Chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority made the appeal in an interview on Arise Television yesterday.

He said the President must have spent the first one year studying the failures of his predecessor to be able to appropriately deal with the problems.

His words: “He (Tinubu) had never served at that level (presidency). Well… you will say he was part of the party (APC) that formed the government (of Muhammadu Buhari), but it’s a hell of a different thing taking over and now leading the team.

“To be fair to my conscience, he has had that one-year holiday of trying to study the failures of the past administration. I have given him that one year of grace because now he has seen it and lived there.

“I expect his ministers to have come back in one year with those areas of lapses. Even when Baba (Olusegun Obasanjo became president in 1999, he was still trying to figure out what happened there or vise-versa in his first year. Let’s give him more time,” he said.
