I Can Never Return To Your Party, Obasanjo Tells PDP Leaders (Video)

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, today, declared that there is going back on his decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and partisan politics.

Obasanjo, who was twice elected president on PDP platform, renounced his membership of the party, when he fell out with ex-President Goodluck Jonathan in the buildup to the 2015 election.

After ordering the chairman of his ward to shred the card to pieces in public, Obasanjo announced that he had quit partisan politics.

Obasanjo while addressing the National Chairman of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu and other stakeholders who visited him in Abeokuta, Ogun State, today, said he had no intention to return the partisan politics or the PDP.

He said “I’m no longer in partisan politics and there is nothing that can bring back. Anybody who wants my advice, I will always be there in the best interest of Nigeria.

“Whatever I do in my own life…because I became president on the platform of PDP, PDP will continue to be part of my life. Since the day I tore my PDP card, that was the day I ceased to be a member of PDP. That day I vowed not to be a member of any political party.

“I will continue to be a statesman.”
