Ex-Vice National Chairman, PDP SouthWest, Olabode George
has said that Tinubu and others are behind his imprisonment during the Nigeria Ports
Authority crisis
"Tinubu and others were responsible for my travails during the
Nigeria Ports Authority crisis when I was sent to prison for doing
nothing. I can only wish Obanikoro the best of luck,he said:
" Bola (Tinubu) and I are not sworn enemies. Bola and I
met during the burial of Alao Arisekola in Ibadan. That was the
first time I saw him physically after I left the military. I was
seated in the front row at the stadium. As I was going out, I saw
him but refused to greet him.
Then Governor Abiola Ajimobi
jumped up and said, “Egbon, you did not greet Bola Tinubu? I
said, ‘why would I greet him? Did you know what he did against
me where he got the court to convict me for an offence I never
committed? ”
Continuing, he said: "But Oba Otudeko advised that we should use
Arisekola’s death to settle the disagreement. I asked Ajimobi to
go and call Bola (Tinubu).
He (Tinubu) came to where I was and
we shook hands. He said, “Egbon, e mabinu (Don’t be
offended).” I am not God. So, since then, we settled our
disagreement. The prison experience was a period of learning for
me.""The fact that we resolved it does not mean I cannot refer to it
for the younger generations to learn, in order to avoid such
pitfalls in the future. The only person you can trust absolutely is
God Almighty," he added
