“I think he is obsessed, I think he is virtually delusional. I think that his hatred for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has beclouded his judgement.
“I think, frankly speaking, there is nothing that Asiwaju can ever do to appeal or please people like Chief Bode George.
“He has made up his mind that Asiwaju is a demon. He has made up his mind that he will never support him. He’s made up his mind that he will demonise him for the rest of his life and that’s okay because it really doesn’t matter to us.
“The most important thing for us is what the people think and what the electorate thinks what they will do, not what Chief Bode George, his delusions, his obsessions manifest in terms of his worthy.”
