Reactions won’t strop tracking the yesterday’s exit of
Nigeria’s former President, Olusegun Obasajo, from the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
After having served 8 years in the party, OBJ announced his
quit and publicly tore his membership card saying he
would no longer stay in politics. Following the unpleasant
development the Ogun chapter of the PDP announced the
expulsion of the politician from the ruling party.
Commenting on the situation, Chariman of the Board of
Trustees, Chief Tony Anenih, said the former President had
the right to dump the party adding however that he would
not be missed . Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, was
outraged by OBJ’s behaviour and called him “a man without
honour”.
In the evening of February 16 the PDP issued an official
statement on the incident, in which the party expressed
sadness over the move.
