A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, has said that Bayo Onanuga, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, will face consequences for disrespecting former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Recall that Obasanjo, while delivering a keynote address at the Chinua Achebe Leadership Forum held at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, issued a scathing criticism against Mr Tinubu, labelling the country’s status as a “failing state”.
In response to Obasanjo’s comments, Mr Onanuga stated that the former president was not an ideal Nigerian leader, adding that he oversaw the most fraudulent election in Nigeria’s history.
Granting an interview to Nigeria Info FM, Mr George emphasised that Mr Onanuga would face consequences for insulting an elder.
“An old man who could be Bayo Onanuga’s father said something, and you took him on by blasting him right, left, and centre.
“That is his style because he did it to me before; he didn’t meet me in Ijebu Ode Grammar School.
“You can see how small he is when comparing himself to us; people give their opinion, and you insult them.
“Even if you want to react, the Yoruba culture does not allow that insult from him.
“Someday he would pay back because there would be a day after, and that’s more important.
“He should be vigilant as he walks because it’s possible for him.”
