Speaking to newsmen on Saturday, George, a well-known Bola Tinubu critic, claimed that he would leave the country should the former Lagos governor emerge president.
According to the former PDP deputy national chairman (South), Tinubu would make his wife, Remi, the Senate President, his son the next Lagos governor and his daughter the head of Nigeria markets.
He said the APC chieftain has done nothing to deserve taking over from Buhari, adding that the ex-lawmaker will steal public funds.
George said, “I am happy the president has signed the new electoral bill. If by whatever chance he (referring to Tinubu) gets to the villa, I won’t be part of this country.
“And I am not joking. I can go to Ghana, live in Ghana and be watching with binoculars from afar. You will see what will happen.
“This is Alpha Beta in Lagos. He will create some Alter Beta somewhere to carry your money. His wife will now be senate president. His son will be governor of Lagos. His daughter will be Iyaloja of Nigeria.
“What has he done to prove that he deserves to be honoured by anybody in this country?
“Nothing personal. In fact, my niece called me. She said ‘some of their people are spinning that he gives me money. That Bola gives me money’.
“Let him bring the money. I will tell him to follow me to Lagos Island — people who are hungry are there. I grew up there — in Lagos Island.”
