#BBB NEWS| I Never Apologised To Bode George – Tinubu

The national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has denied apologising to the leader of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State, Chief Bode George.

George had said during an interview with the Sunday PUNCH that Tinubu was responsible for his imprisonment but had apologised to him at the burial of the Deputy President General of Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Abdul-Azeez Arisekola-Alao, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, last year.

However, Tinubu in a statement by his media adviser, Mr. Sunday Dare, said he never apologised to George since he had nothing to do with George’s incarceration.

He said although they both met at Arisekola-Alao’s burial, their conversation had nothing to do with an apology.

#BBB NEWS| Police Absent In PDP Strongholds, Says Tinubu

A former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says there were little or no police presence in areas which the Peoples Democratic Party is considered to be strong in Lagos.

Tinubu, who is a National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, said this while addressing journalists at Sunday Adigun Street, Alausa, where he voted on Saturday.

The former governor alleged that the PDP-led Federal Government had relegated the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Kayode Aderanti, to the level of an area commander just because the party had ulterior motives.

He said rather, the controversial Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Joseph Mbu, was the one acting as the Commissioner of Police for the elections.
