I Can Never Return To PDP – Obasanjo

Obasanjo said having announced his exit from partisan politics publicly, it is impossible for him to return to a “divided, factionalized party gasping for breath.”

The former President was allegedly reported to have attended a PDP’s convention meeting held at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre on Friday.

Speaking to reporters in Abeokuta on Saturday, August 6, 2016, the ex-Chairman, Board of Trustee (BoT) of PDP referred to the members of his former party, who came to greet him during his meeting at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre as ‘invaders and gate-crashers’.

In his words: “If I quit a party when it was alive and seemingly united, how could I go back to a now divided, factionalized party gasping for breath?”

“Those who know me, know that I have publicly announced my quitting partisan politics and those who will believe the purported story will believe anybody who tells him that his or her mother is not a woman,” Obasanjo said.
