Olusegun Obasanjo abandons PDP to remain as elder statesman

The Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday, February 16, 2015 tore his Peoples Democratic Party membership card, saying he is no more a politician.

Obasanjo who finally dumped the ruling party in the presence of PDP members from ward 11 in Abeokuta North local government, said he would prefer to be an elderstateman.

The former President addressing members of the PDP at his Presidential mansions in Abeokuta who came to confirm whether he has been expelled from the party or not, said if his involvement in partisan politics would stop him from having a better Nigeria, then he is ready to sacrifice membership of the PDP and become a statesman.

While he was responding to enquiry on rumour to expel him from the party, directed his aide to get his membership card and few minutes later he was given, throw it away, declaring that "if this is why we cannot have the Nigeria we desire, I am no longer part of this.

And finally, he asked his aid to tear his membership card in front of fellow part members.

OMG, WHAT HAVE COME OVER YOU Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, IS THIS THE RIGHT TO DO? NIGERIANS SHOULD JUGDE THIS.
