Former President Olusegun Obasanjo Wednesday said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Lagos State has the political willto dislodge the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in the 2015 elections.

Obasanjo, however, noted that for the PDP to take over Lagos from ACN , the leaders must subjugate their egos and set aside their individual interests for the general interest ofthe party.

The former president stated this when the PDP executives in Lagos State paid him a courtesy visit at his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.

But ACN has accused the PDP of stoking the fire of ethnic and sectional politics by implying that President Goodluck Jonathan is being criticised by opposition parties because he (Jonathan) is from a minority tribe.

Obasanjo, who described PDP as a party in wilderness in the state, noted that leaders of the party needed to work together to build the party.

He expressed optimism that if the leaders and members are united, they could capture power from the ACN in the state.

“If only the leaders would sink their egos andregard the party’s interest as supreme and above that of individuals, then the party will come out strong and able to wrestle power from the ruling party,” he said.

Speaking on the fire incident at his residence last week, the former president said the fire would have killed him if the incident had happened in the middle of the night, describing the damage done by the fire as “enormous.”

He said the fire, which occurred inside the office of his private secretary, consumed a number of inflammable items that aided the fire, resulting in a thick smoke that found its way into his bedroom.

“The fire incident, which occurred in the office of my private secretary, resulted in thick smoke which pervaded my bedroom. If it had happened at night, I would have been a dead person now,” Obasanjo said.

The former president, who was full of praisesto God for sparing his life, as well as protecting him to be part of the living to witness the new year, stated that he had continued to receive telephone calls from within and outside Nigeria over the incident.

“I want to thank all; and all those who called me on phone both within and outside the country. Let us appreciate the mercy and kindness of God. There are many, we started last year together but no more today, we are not mocking them, but to extol God,” he said.

“In fact, that I’m able to stand erect is God’s blessing, Many of my age group cannot standwell, I am not mocking them, but I am thanking God. My hope and prayer is that thisyear 2013 will be a glorious year,” he added.

Earlier in his speech, the Chairman of the Lagos PDP, Tunji Shelle, told Obasanjo that theparty executive came to see him for three reasons.
“Our Baba, our leader and our president, we are here for three reasons: to sympathise with you over the fire incident, to celebrate New Year with you, and to get your blessingsfor the 2015 elections,” Shelle said.

The PDP leader said the party thanked God for sparing Obasanjo’s life.

However, the war of words between PDP and ACN over Jonathan’s administration raged on Wednesday.

If and only if that happens...

Another bad market...
Papa are u on w...d?sorry thoe.
Future past tense.
PDP IS DEAD AND BURIED IN OTA!

“If only the leaders would sink their egos ‎​Άnd regard the party’s interest as supreme and above that of individuals, then the party will come out strong and able to wrestle power from the ruling party,” he said.

The bolded shows that PDP as a party is selfish and only interested in grabbing POWER.

The interest of the masses is the last thing on their mind. The WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE THE SUPREME interest not the ego of some power-hungry thieves.

The suffering inflicted on the masses by the PDP-led FG is a testament that the Party's interest as well as that of the cronies of those within the corridors of power is what they hold as supreme.

PDP is a cancer that all well-meaning citizens must reject!!!

Why d fire no kill am self... SMH

Dis old polithiefians will never sit down n think a way forward for our runaway country...all dy do is starting up a political fight to win more state to thier party,..OBJ AM ERNESTLY WAITING 4 UR DEATH...anoda ban 4rm SEUN is on the way

Anything is possible in politics.In the case of Nigeria,if u can rig better and win d peoples sentiment,victory is assured.All PDP needs is to cash in on d recent okada ban and some petty sentiments of d populace and also spread d money better,who knows?Lagos might be theirs for grabs.But im skeptical a bit because Fashola has cemented some notable achievements that will give ACN a greater advantage in the state.

Oh God of creation! direct our noble cause.

As far as im concerned, Fashola has seeded out Lagos to PDP come 2015 with his sadistic overzealous attitude.

When obj waz in power the only thing he waz known to have done is to sell off nitel and bring in gsm...what a dull and corrupt man...karma will catch this man

his post has been relocated upwards...

^(x6)

Some pple believe it can never happen, I know it will take them by suprise. Most of them will have a burst artery.

It is handsomely possible. We Lagosians are tired of all these useless laws that brings no food to our table. Its a matter of personality not PDP as a party.

You know you are not a bastard, I was expecting hear something about the masses not one m word did he mention through out. Which tells a lot about Pdp. They know they all have one motive to come loot and use the masses as a sacrifice to there gods.
A good leader would have focus on the people before the party. They keep thinking the west are like the north where you and east where you don't perform yet get to the top position, these people don't learn and don't want to learn and acn is taking advantage of there stupidity I just hope pdp will never see power again in the west. LP is more of a treat than PDP.

Obj must be a crazy mediocre has he 4gotten so soon that while he was in office dare was no meanful development 4 him, during d previous election u spent 3 days in lagos an lost, my advice 4 u is to move to lagos 2moro ahead of 2015 and u and ur party will be bulled out of lagos with d next landslide victory of acn in d next general eletion
