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”

Dis old man is cnfuse, coz he nw knw dt PdP will loss it, any wys u r nt GoD, I pray God help Nigerians 2 vote d ryt Persn.

If indeed this piece of news is true, then good for him...I don't think he would be missed...Because from his body language he is not with GEJ and his influence in PDP has greatly dropped...

I guess that's another avenue for him to remain relevant in politics...I wish him well in his new quest...

This man should just take a mirror and repeat all this corruption ranting to the man behind the mirror. It defines him most.

Very interesting....

Now he is a change agent and political saint abi? ,in his regime
.... $150m halliburton scandal,Privatization Scandal,National I.D Card Scam,Oil revenue diversion by the then minister of pertoleum and incumbent president(Now APC Saint)
-over 2 trillion Naira was spent on power without any considerable improvement
- The Benin-Ore road was for close to a decade the worst nightmare for travellers
-Millions of dollars were spent on TAM(Turn Around Maintenance) of Refineries without any justification for a satisfactory work done
-Elections were manipulated and massive electoral fraud committed to favour the anointed candidate of the then president.
- Huge funds were disbursed for the third term agenda which was truncated by our distinguished parliamentarians

na joke, no b true na

Obasanjo will never defect to any other party,Jonathan and his goons will be suspended from PDP forever after this election and baba will take over PDP again,that's babas plan

After the elections, OBJ will top the list of those that will go hiding out of shame

I marvel at the way some ignorant political neophytes are jumping uncontrollably at the mere assurance by OBJ that he belongs to APC.
party for over a year now other than apc?
What has been OBJ's value in PDP for a long time now?
Are we referring to someone who could not win elections for himself and his party, the PDP in his Unit, Ward nd LGA even when he was a Presidential candidate in that election?
Does it mean you are not aware that OBJ is self-seeking, selfish and fair-'weatheric'?
His actions are borne out of all tendencies to satisfy self other than love for our beloved country.
By now you should decipher who and who...are the people Baba GOD to destroy in this country!

Better u decamped early to avoid shame But u will not go Scot free.

Just wait till after swearing in of GEJ come May 29th, u either go on exile or take a room in kirikiri.

Obj defects and it would come from naijaloaded of all blogs, SMH. the reported speech was carefully crafted but unfortunately some of us are way smarter than your smartest. op you mentioned "defunct APC "!! jeez that's a give away. Try your luck next time but make sure it's April 1 when next you try
