Chairman of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), the foremost political platform in the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prince Tajudeen Olusi on Monday refuted reports that the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu asked his loyalists to meet with Chief Olabode George, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Last weekend, associates of Tinubu led by Retired Justice Isola Olorunnimbe and Olusi, among others visited George in his Lugard Road, Ikoyi office to solicit support for the incoming President of Nigeria.
Speaking with worldviewafrica.com, Olusi, a former member of the House of Representatives in the Second Republic said the peace meeting was his own idea, adding that the delegation that met with George were not sent by Tinubu.
He said “It was a peace meeting organized to reconcile two individuals. You want to know whether the meeting was called at the instance of Mr A or B. It could be at the instance of anybody”.
“However, the paramount thing is to reconcile people and make peace in the interest of ourselves, our people and the entire nation”.
“The idea of brokering peace is entirely ours. I can boldly say that the initiative was entirely mine. It was not at the instance of either Asiwaju Bola Tinubu or Chief Olabode George. Also, it was not at the instance of any political party”.
“Those who were involved in the peace deal are prominent citizens of my state who are interested in the advancement of Lagos State and Nigeria. That answers your question”.
