Chief Bode George, a former deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has responded to Nigeria’s mounting debt load under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership by announcing plans to take on further debt.
In an interview with the Sun newspaper, the PDP chieftain questioned the Aso Rock economist about the amount of debt the nation owes, saying that PDP will continue to act as the opposition party and keep Tinubu on his toes to make sure that the right thing is done because it was time for resource management and governance for the general public’s benefit.

“I don’t know who is the voodoo economist in the Villa because the amount of money we owe now is N88 trillion,” Chief Bode George declared. Are we joking? This is the time for governance and managing the resources of this country for the betterment of the people,ple but is that what they are doing? I want to appeal to the President, it is not a matter of joining his party, we must have a solid opposition to put them on their toes and as long as I live, in the next four years that will be the role that we are going to play.”
“And it is good for them because if everybody is telling them that they are doing well, they will be the first to condemn them once they get out. Tinubu is not a young man, he has been there, so he knows whether people are polishing him and pretending that he is the best fellow.”
