"Let me say something to those trusting them [AKP and Erdoğan] This guy and his team are about to be gone. There is no way that he will stay in power. The entire business, bureaucracy and judicial world should make plans accordingly," Erdoğdu said on Jan. 12, adding that he can't stay in power "if the public doesn't want him to."
"You will be gone as soon as the people cast votes against you," he also said.
Saying that pro-government figures are after purchasing real estate from Britain to escape, Erdoğdu noted that they have to "give what they stole from the public back."
