“Today in Nigeria, everywhere there is hunger and anger. Forget about me being in the PDP, the base of the pyramid is what really matters,” he said.

George added: “What have we done to positively impact the generality of Nigerians? There is so much anger in the land and there is so much hunger. Graduates are floating, no future, no hope; non-graduates are doing nothing. I suggested that Mr. President should set up a special fund to ensure that those guys who didn’t train in any skill can be empowered. Then micro-credit for young graduates who want to do one business or the other.”
He also criticised recent initiatives, including the First Lady’s national library project, suggesting government-managed public funds could better address youth needs.
George revealed personal struggles, saying: “The younger generation in this country, including my own children who graduated a long time ago, have returned and tried to get a job, but they can’t get a job because their name is Bode George.”
