Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Chief Bode George, a former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said he would wait for the presidential election petition tribunal to make a judgment on the election outcome before he could decide to leave the country.<\/p>\n

Bode made the statement on Tuesday while fielding questions on Arise Television\u2019s Morning Show program.<\/p>\n

Recall that he had pledged to relocate to a foreign country, specifically Togo, if Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, won the presidential election.<\/p>\n

Following the declaration of Tinubu as the president-elect by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Bode had been continuously pressed by Nigerians to disclose when he would make good his threat to leave the country.<\/p>\n

However, he said he was going to wait on the judiciary to make decision on the outcome of the election.<\/p>\n

Bode said, \u201cI am almost eighty years old, I can decide to live the rest of my life in peace. Remember, I was in the navy, I have been in almost all parts of the world, and I can still decide to go back to any place and live my life in peace; a place where water, electricity, security and food would be available; that is all I need for my children and grandchildren to be well.<\/p>\n

All I need to do very soon is to quit and get out of partisan politics because all of my 25 years I have been struggling, fighting, trying to make this country work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I will go I will decide, that\u2019s my choice. The game is not yet over. We are going to wait on the outcome of the judiciary. I have relations here, it doesn\u2019t mean I will never come back to Nigeria. If I said I am going to be out, that I am not going to be here, am I going to look for another job now? Nobody will employ me now.\u201d<\/p>\n
