Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the APC national leader has denied the statement from Chief Bode George that he (Tinubu) has apologized to him for being part of those who orchestrated his imprisonment.

Chief Bode George had  stated last week that Tinubu apologized to him during the burial of the Deputy President-General of Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Abdul-Azeez Arisekola Alao, last years. 

But Tinubu through his media adviser, Mr. Sunday Dare said he couldn’t have apologized to Bode George because he was never part of those who sent him to jail.  He further stated that it was Bode’s own party PDP who jailed him.

The ex-Lagos State Governor explained that although they both met at Arisekola Alao’s burial, their conversation had nothing to do with an apology.

He said, “Mr. George claims the alleged apology was made at the burial of Chief Alao Arisekola. On that date, personalities such as Oba Otudeko and Governor Ajimobi approached me because I did not greet Mr. George initially. They pleaded that, in the memory of the man we were all gathered to honour, I should greet Mr. George. At their request, I turned back and came to greet him by saying, ‘Good afternoon Egbon (senior)’. That was all.”

Must Read: The Fact That Blacks Look Like Human Beings And Act Like Human Beings Do Not Necessarily Make Them Sensible Human Beings - P.W. Botha

 

Find below a speech allegedly made by former South African president, P.W. Botha about 27 years ago.  It was reprinted today by David G. Mailu for the Sunday Times South Africa.

I truly, as an African feel so insulted, degraded and worthless.  My heart is full of anger, not towards P.W. Botha, but to my leaders who gave him this opportunity to cast insults such as these upon me.   Please read and let’s have your opinions/comments.

--------

”We are not obliged even the least to try to prove to anybody and to the blacks that we are superior people. We have demonstrated that to the blacks in 1001 ways.

The Republic of South Africa that we know of today has not been created by wishful thinking. We have created it at the expenses of intelligence, sweat and blood……We do not pretend like other whites that we like the blacks.

The fact that, blacks look like human beings and act like human beings do not necessarily make them sensible human beings. Hedgehogs are not porcupines and lizards are not crocodiles because they look alike.

If God had wanted us to be equal to the blacks, he would have created us all of a uniform colour and intellect. But he created us differently: Whites, Blacks, Yellow, Rulers and the ruled.

Intellectually, we are superior to the Blacks; that has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt over the years.

I believe that the Afrikaner is honest, God fearing person, who has demonstrated practically the right way of being. By now every one of us has seen it practically that the Blacks cannot rule themselves.

Give them guns and they will kill each other. They are good in nothing else but making noise, dancing, marrying many wives and indulging in sex.

 Let us all accept that the Blackman is a symbol of poverty, mental inferiority, laziness and emotional incompetence. Isn’t it plausible? Therefore that the Whiteman is created to rule the Blackman……And here is a creature (Blackman) that lacks foresight….. The average Black does not plan his life beyond a year”.
