I ‘ll not seek presidential pardon – Bode George


Former South-West Deputy Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olabode George, yesterday, said he will not seek presidential pardon, but was prepared to pursue his appeal against his conviction to the Supreme Court to prove his innocence.
He was in 2009 sentenced to two years imprisonment for contract splitting and inflation by a Lagos High Court and the Court of Appeal, Lagos, had confirmed the conviction.
George who was at Aso Rock, yesterday, however, insisted that he was innocent of the crime, which took him to jail. He said he did not steal any money from government.
He also denied the existence of crisis in Lagos PDP, saying that the party was waxing wrong.
