National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has denied ever apologising to Chief Bode George, the erstwhile deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP over his incarceration for alleged contract splitting.
In a statement issued by his media office,
Tinubu said George’s account of their meeting at the burial of Chief Alao
Arisekola last year was a twist of the facts as he said that he, Tinubu, was
only beckoned by some dignitaries to greet George who he claimed he had earlier
ignored.
Tinubu said that the attempt by George to take
that greeting as an apology could only be a way for the PDP leader to walk back
from his earlier vow to go on exile should General Muhammadu Buhari win the
presidential election.
Chief George had in an interview by a national
weekly last weekend claimed that he had forgiven Tinubu for his alleged role in
sending him, George to prison after receiving the apology at Arisekola’s burial
last year.
