Even if he doesn't officially come out to say it, his body language has always indicated he had long dumped PDP.

Only the blind can't see that PDP will lose the presidency to the opposition.
Re: Breaking News:- Obasanjo Defects To APC by ItsMeAboki(m): 8:02pm On Jan 26, 2015
Much as I want to believe this story, it just doesn't sound credible; moreover OBJ had earlier maintained that he would never abandon the party that made him president, so I don't believe it - at least not for now, until the major media house corroborate it.

A NIGERIAN YOUTH WROTE THIS LETTER TO BUHARI
Sir, let us examine your service records. I consider your
generation a very
privileged one, indeed. In 1975 at the age of 33, you were
appointed the Military
Governor of the North-Eastern State, present day Borno &
Yobe states.
In 1976 at the age of 34 you became the Minister for
Petroleum and Natural
Resources. In 1978 at the age of 36 you became the Chairman
of the Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Today the reverse is
the case. Most
Nigerians at age of 35 are still unemployed and still living
with parents. Many are
still not married. During your time you were already Governor
at this age.
One major reason for this unfortunate turn of events is that
many elders like you
have refused to voluntarily handover the baton to the next
generation. Life should
be a relay race where one runs his race and hands over to the
next. In Nigeria
many elders like you have run their races and are still holding
on tenaciously to
the baton.
But Sir, I have an important question here for you. The
question is simple, MUST
YOU SERVE NIGERIA AS A PRESIDENT ONLY? IS THERE NO
OTHER CAPACITY YOU
CAN SERVE US EXCEPT THE PRESIDENCY? It is very
erroneous to imagine that you
can only serve Nigeria only in one capacity. During the regime
of late General Sani
Abacha, you accepted the appointment to serve as the
Chairman of the then
Petroleum Trust Fund PTF.
The general opinion was that you served faithfully in this
capacity. Well done Sir!
But you never asked Abacha to vacate office for you as your
former subordinate in
the army. Never! In fact that would have been a dangerous
move, if not suicidal.
Rather you served faithfully under your former junior in the
army. Sir, imagine if
you take on another job like the Chairman of EFCC or ICPC or
NDLEA.
Nigerians actually need you to serve in one of these
capacities much more than
they need you in the Presidency. Mere mentioning your name
as Chairman of EFCC
would drive many corrupt men underground. But you
wouldn’t . Either the
Presidency or nothing. When are you going to handover to the
next person? It is
either you do it voluntarily or risk disgrace at the polls. In
1983 at the age of 41,
you became the Head of State.
Most Nigerians in my age have not had the opportunity to
serve, but we still remain
committed to the Nigerian project. You should rather be
graceful to God and to
Nigerians for the numerous opportunities that have come your
way to serve
Nigerians. Others are begging for just one opportunity to
serve. Sir, you have to
accept the stark reality on ground that you have served your
time already.
That is life for you. You run the race, you handover the baton
for others to run, you
cannot hold on to the baton more than is necessary. As a
former head of State you
are already a member of the Council of State Meeting. You
have every avenue to
channel your views across. You don’t necessarily have to be
in a front-line role,
you can serve in an advisory capacity. That is still service.
In conclusion, It is crystal clear that you cannot defeat
President Jonathan in a
free, fair and credible election, even in Katsina State.
Sentiments aside, Jonathan would cruise to a landslide
victory come February 14th,
2015. In fairness to you Sir, any of your Children would pose a
serious challenge to
Jonathan more than yourself.
I do not see Nigerians electing a 72 year old former Head of
state to lead us in this
Digital era. With due respect to you Sir, you belong to the
Analogue age and
therefore, will not fit in as president in this digital era.
This is the blunt truth. Please do not enter the Guinness book
of world records on
a negative note. Losing four consecutive Presidential election
would not augur well
for your reputation. It is in your best interest to assume your
position as an elder
statesman and allow others to serve. Nigeria does not belong
to you alone. It
belongs to us all.

This is not just breaking news, it is also breath-taking but it is always our pleasure to bring you firsthand information so as to keep you abreast of happenings in and out of Nigeria.

Research has it that the former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo aka OBJ, has finally defected to the GMB-Driven party – APC.

This is a shocker but speaking with the former President OBJ himself at his farm in Ota, he has given a few reasons why his defecting should not just be accepted by Nigerians but should also be applauded.

Find his statement below:

“I have reason to believe that most or should I say all of you are wondering why I have chosen to defect to the defunct APC and I must say that if I had been told that I would have to switch party some 5 years ago, I myself would have argued it.

I believe in transparency and integrity but unfortunately, PDP is an opposite of such attributes.

They dwell in deception and in the lowest form of debase if I may say.

I believe change is what Nigeria needs and regardless of whether GMB can deliver or not, it is still change in a way. Nigeria needs to be delivered from a useless government that has taken over since I left presidency.

If you have read my book, you will see that Jonathan is nothing different from my VP when I was president. Atiku was just a big time backbiter unknown to him that when you have people behind you, your back actually becomes visible to you.

I want to use this medium to say a very big thank you to the leaders of the APC for accepting me as I am and I am proud to say that come 2015, APC is taking over Nigeria for good of us all.

I am a civilian like you all now so I understand what it means to live in the suburbs as you are all aware that I stay nowhere else apart from my village here in Ota.

Finally, I would like to implore all Nigerians that come 2015 Elections, VOTE GOOD GOVERNMENT NOT GOOD LUCK”

What's breaking about this news? How many times will he defect to APC? For your info, even OBJ is afraid of GMB's candidature. So many of you will be shocked at the last minute drama. Mark my words.
