His words:
"Let me tell you, let me explain it, I can go and live… it doesn’t mean I will go and tear my passport, I won’t tear it because that is my place of birth.
But I have grown up to a level where for the rest of my life, I’m quitting partisan politics. It is so mind-boggling. The traits, the thoughts, my upbringing, you’re expected to tell the truth."
Staying his concern about the character of the President-elect, Bode George said he will prefer to reside in a cocoon than have a Bola Tinubu as president.
He added:
"I want to live in peace, where if I want to go to my bank, have some money, I will have the money. If I want to go and buy food in the market, I will be able to do it."
He also said that such a move does not mean he will not be able to come back to Nigeria but is an avenue for him to have peace of mind.
His words:
"We are all waiting, the game is not over, we are going to wait on the outcome of the judiciary and I have relations here and it doesn’t mean I will not come back to Nigeria.
"If I say I am going to be out, I will go and spend more time there (other countries). I am not going to look for a job now because who will employ or pay me."
