Ex-Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olabode George, has said he would speak about his intentions ahead of the 2023 presidential election very soon.
Olabode George still believes he has the required knowledge and experience to make Nigeria better if he can be given the opportunity.
According to him, tons of Nigerians have asked him to run for the number one position in the country however, he is still deciding to keep mum about his final decision.
He added that he remains devoted to stabilizing and uniting the nation.
His words, “Yes, people mooted that idea of presidential or no presidential however, I keep my card to my chest.
“People mooted it, initially we played and laughed over it however, you see 2023 is a long haul from now and if people are wishing you well and are showing such good things to you, you don’t deflect it however, time will tell.”
“We know there are managers now. Our major concern should be what role are they playing. How well are they managing the resources of the country?
“2023 is still a long time from now, that is about three years from now. Who knows who would even be alive by then? So, let us do the needful first and stabilize the platform on which you are going to move.
“So, I want to thank those who have mooted the idea of the presidency and those who have spoken about it, however, it is not tomorrow, it is not next week. It is not next month.
“For me, I'm more concerned now with the image of the country. If you see the image of our nation. I asked a simple question, where is that giant of Africa? You know that was our nickname before.
“That is why I said everybody, in every corner, cool your temper. Hunger has no tribal marks, hunger doesn’t wear religious caps and it is all over the countries. If the platform is wobbling, a little wind can blow it up. We must not pray for that.”
