Obasanjo, Pdp Chieftains Receive Bode George by rebranded(m): 6:25pm On Feb 27, 2011 |
“If you go about in arrogance; if you are found where elections are rigged; if you take revenge on people who turned their backs on you on your way to jail; or found where shady deals are done, then you haven’t learnt anything and will rot in hell.” These were the words of admonition, Venerable Tayo Aduloju of the Cathedral Church of Christ, Marina, Lagos, imparted on the former chairman of the Nigeria Ports Authority and ex-deputy national chairman of the PDP, south, Chief Olabode George, who was Saturday released from the Kirikiri maximum prisons, Apapa, Lagos. George, who was received by PDP party chieftains led by former President Olusegun Oba-sanjo, Governor Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State and Nigeria’s High Commissioner to Ghana, Ambassador Musiliu Obanikoro, among others, had served out a two-year jail sentence following his conviction by the Justice Olubunmi Oyewole led-High Court, Ikeja, Lagos on October 26, 2009. He was convicted for charges ranging from contract splitting and disobedience to constituted authority. George left the Kirikiri prisons at exactly 10.30 am Saturday in the company of his wife, Roli, mother, and daughter, Oyinkan, Lagos PDP governorship candidate, Dr. Ade Dosunmu, and Oyo State deputy governor, Taofeek Arapaja, clad in white guinea brocade Agbada and a maroon and black cap to match. George, who drove away from Kirikiri in his bullet-proof Toyota Land Cruiser with registration number BE 252 BDG, was in his elements and looked relaxed as he acknowledged cheers from the hundreds of supporters, who had converged on the prison to receive him. The former NPA chairman then went straight to the Cathedral Church of Christ, Marina Lagos, for a thanksgiving service, where he was joined by other prominent members of the party. They included Obasanjo, Governor Daniel, Minister of Defence, Mr. Adetokunbo Kayode, Minister of Environment, John Odey, governorship candidate of the PDP in Ogun, Gen. Adetunji Olurin, Gen. Tajudeen Olanrewaju, George’s former wife, Kaine, Hon. Kamal Olorunoje, PDP chairman in Lagos, Mr. Setonji Kosheodo, Mr. Deji Doherty, Hon. Wahaba Owokoniran, Mr. Lai Ajayi-Bembe and chairman of Daar Communications, Dr. Raymond Dokpesi. Also present were Special Adviser to the President on Parastatals, Braeyi Ekiye, national vice chairman of the PDP, south-west, Alhaji Tajudeen Oladipo, former Ekiti State governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, Dr. Ebenezer Babatope, governorship aspirant in the party, Mr. Owolabi Salis and Mr. Kayode Bawa-Allah, among party bigwigs. The atmosphere at Kirikiri prisons was at best illuminating as loyalists and supporters of the PDP stalwart had thronged the area as early as 5am with brigades and live bands to welcome George. The Kirikiri environ was also adorned with posters and banners with different inscriptions praising and saluting George, whose incarceration they described in some of their banners as politically motivated.

We have no country anymore, our shame travels faster ahead of us, our identities soiled by our leaders. shame to anyone who advocates for the return of PDP and their flag bearers. The future will haunt anyone and everyone who puts down his thumb in print for a PDP flag bearer.
