Mr. Obasanjo explained to PREMIUM TIMES.
“If you people’s worry is that I’m a card-carrying member of the party and I’m not showing you people direction and you are worried that I’m neither here nor there, this is the card; you can keep it, you can burn it or you can tear it, do whatever you want to do with it.”

The former president said he then handed over his membership card to Mr. Oladunjoye, who immediately decided on his own to shred it.

Baba needed to decline in a good manner.The message he is passing there is that he loves Nigeria than the party, i still have respect for him he is the only leader that has all his investments in Nigeria.
Shey all his investments in Cotounu, Sao tome and elsewhere na you get am? Stop misleading Nigerians. Apart from Ota farms and Bells University built with Nigerian money while he held sway, which of his investments are you calling 'all his investments'?

You mean Obasanjo didn't see the action of Mr Oladunjoye as an insult on him after all they explained to him. Tearing his card in his presence. Does that make him a hero or a villain?

let's be frank about it. it was only obasanjo's presence in the PDP that gave it that air of domination over the APC, be it an abstract or a real feeling of dominance amongst Nigerians. with his exit, PDP and APC are now perfectly equal in most people's eyes. we now have 2 very equally balanced political parties in Niger. the generic REPUBLICAN PARTY and the generic DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
thank God all these things u talked about is in NIGER REPUBLIC. Have you closed from Apc data centre today.

When obj was refered to as "motor park tout", do u think they made a mistake Flankly, I never expected his brain to have degenerated to this degree. Honestly, I hate all these old logs who refuse to die nor allow Nigeria to move an inch. God pls relegate Tinubu, Buhari, and their likes just the way u relegated obj.

What happens when in few weeks, elections are cancelled?

If we want Buhari to be elected, we need to start urging APC to set up parallel government, now that rigging has started.

Is APC the only opposition Party and must Buhari be the next President?? You're here forcing rubbish down our throats...spread mat sleep biko

PDP -- We’ll beg Obasanjo ..FEBRUARY 18, 2015 . Finally they acknowledge OBJ is a founding father of PDP.

Obj is really giving these PDP a very nice hard time ha ha ha ha

Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State on Tuesday emerged from a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, giving an indication that the Peoples Democratic Party stakeholders would beg former President Olusegun Obasanjo who dumped the party on Monday.

Lamido, who is the North-West Coordinator of Goodluck/Sambo Presidential Campaign, told State House correspondents that

" Obasanjo remained the father of all.He said Jonathan and all the state governors were creations of the former President.

He explained that it was only appropriate that “when a father is angry with his children, the children should beg him.”

Lamido said, “Baba (Obasanjo) is more than a party man. He is an icon, a national symbol and a leader and an inventor, a creator of all the institutions today in Nigeria from the President to the governors who are his own sons, are all his creations.

“And so, when a father is angry with his own children, we will only say we are sorry to him. But then, we cannot be renounced for whatever it is.

If you do any political DNA of our blood, you will find his (Obasanjo’s) blood in us. No matter what we are, we may not be able to live up to his expectations.

“We might have made some mistakes, but abandoning us is not the solution because the country is first before anything else. So, he is our Baba even up to the President.

“Baba is our baba no matter what. He is angry with us, but then, what do we do? He gave us the life at a time when Nigerians were fighting us, he stood for us. Since 2011, in 2007, he stood firm for us.

“He is our father. And so, if we made some mistakes, we are only human because we are heading human institutions. And I think by the time he reflects, how could he abandon his own children like that. Wherever we are, we are right in his heart. He feels for us, he cares for us.”

When asked to be specific on whether they would go and beg Obasanjo to return to the party, Lamido said such issue was not the kind he would announce publicly.

“When there is some kind of misunderstanding between a father and a child, you don’t go to NTA or any other media to say you are going to do this.

“I mean the bond between us is so strong. I know he is equally pained. I know what he is going through because he is our father, but I will not tell you the strategy because when he was producing us, you were not there, when he was making us, were you there?,” the governor said.

When told that some party chiefs had already said they would not miss the former President, the governor said Jonathan who he described as Obasanjo’s first child had not said so.

“But then, the first child is the President, did he say so?,” he asked.

When asked again if Obasanjo’s constant criticisms of the President did not worry him, Lamido said “when parents get old, they tend to manifest signs of old age.”

He added, “What I am saying is that all of us have parents. When we were born, they pepped us, gave us their love, gave us everything. By the time they get old, naturally, there is what they call role reversal. We became the parents and they became the children. So, what is wrong if our parents begin to manifest those signs of old age?”

Lamido insisted that despite all the perceived setbacks, the PDP would still win the forthcoming elections.

He said, “What is this opposition in Nigeria? You must know Nigerian history. Nigeria cannot be governed by an aggregate of pain, anger and frustration.

The truth of the matter is that OBJ has been stabbed at back by GEJ; took the old man for granted- How? BROKEN PROMISES. All what OBJ has been saying; which of these are lies? Baba Obasanjo is one loyal friend, mentor and political father who Jonathan has exchanged for political parasites like Kashamu, Edwin Clerk, Bode George etc. It was great mis -calculation. People must remember that Baba Obasanjo is true, d-tribalised Nigerian and war time general like TY Danjuma who values the word NIGERIA more than most of us. His love for the unity of this country is unparalleled and he needs to be listened to, heard, taken seriously and be respected. He is Ebora of our time and a father of Nation.

Not PDP, Lamido who Baba promised to make president. He is a loyalist of OBJ. PDP has begged OBJ and he refused so no need begging again.

I don't think so. He lost his relevance in PDP a long time ago. He knew that himself so he is just finding a new refuge he can be more relevant. Even the APC know he carries no force anymore. I pity the old man though, Its very difficult to leave the dance floor especially when you know you know a bigger masquerade has shown up. I believe we 'll have a cleaner PDP than ever before, his 8 years contributed to this level of sink we are in today.
