Tinubu: Yoruba Culture Doesn’t Allow You To Insult Obasanjo, You Will Pay For It – Bode George To Onanuga

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George has said the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, would pay for insulting former President, Olusegun Obasanjo.

CityNews Nigeria reported that Obasanjo had described Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu as a failing state while highlighting the pervasive corruption and leadership failure under his administration.

In response, Onanuga in a statement blasted Obasanjo, saying he was not an ideal Nigerian leader.

Tinubu’s aide faulted Obasanjo for taking to the public media to bestow his unsolicited wisdom on leadership and governance in Nigeria.

Onanuga noted that Obasanjo had continued to blame those who served after his tenure for the nation’s myriad of challenges even when he had his many flaws.

Reacting, Bode George while featuring on Nigeria Info FM said Onanuga would be made to pay for insulting Obasanjo, someone old enough to be his father, adding it is not allowed in Yoruba land.

He said, “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, in Yoruba land it’s not impossible for him (Onanuga) to be charmed 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 to be charmed.”
