Few days after he accused President Goodluck Jonathan of
orchestrating a tenure elongation plot, which he dubbed the “Gbagbo
treatment”, ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo has dumped the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), saying he is no longer interested in partisan
politics as he is now a statesman.
Although this is a developing story, there are reports the ex-president allegedly tore his PDP membership card in public.
You may recall that the Presidency and PDP had made various attempts
to appease Obasanjo to no avail, which led to speculations that the
ex-president may be suspended for anti-party activities.
Perhaps his dumping of the ruling party is a pre-emptive move.
