PARIS, NOVEMBER 12, 2016: (DGW) FRESH  facts have , indeed , emerged  on the alleged tearing of the Peoples' Democratic Party membership card by  former President Olusegun Obasanjo. 

Our source who spoke recently to the aide of the former President of Nigeria in Abuja, Nigeria said  Chief Olusegun Obasanjo did not openly tear his PDP membership card as widely reported by the Nigerian press.

Recall sometime in 2015, the ex-president while speaking at the Global Education and Skills Forum, (GESF) in Dubai, the United Arab Emirate, said he did not tear his PDP membership card adding that he is not aware, maybe somebody else did it if the story that made the rounds then was anything to go by.

According to the former President, '' “I didn’t openly tear my PDP membership card; somebody else tore it because I said to him, ‘Here is the card, do whatever you like with it.

“If you like keep it; if you like tear it, if you like burn it. Here it is because they say it is giving them concern and they don’t know what is happening.

''I did that to prove to them what is happening; I could not have torn the party's membership card.”

This is in wake of the alleged threats made by Nigeria's literary giant , Prof Wole's Soyinka to tear his American Green Card if Donald Trump wins the US presidential election.
 

Obasanjo's aide faulted the threat adding that it amounts to a criminal offence which is not only actionable but also punishable that is capable of earning Soyinka a custodial sentence if the threat is by any act of omission or commission carried out.

Speaking further, our source produced a photograph of the former president where he publicly displayed his PDP membership card saying that Obasanjo though no longer an active member of the former ruling party did not tear the party's property knowing full well what it would amount to.

On the contrary, pictorial evidence in the photograph below shows where what looks like the card in contention was actually torn. What is being called in question here, however,  is if the damaged property belongs to the former President.

And who cares? Was that the country that remained underdeveloped under your 8 years care?

In otherwords, he's coming back to pdp abi?

This man's case is complicated.

Whether he tore it or not is inconsequential. In fact tearing it would have been better. PDP had since moved on without him.

Obasanjo is a three faced coin.

Jonathan said it when he had drunk that some people will calls elder statesmen are ordinary people.One of them is this man

PDP is open to every citizen of this country. If he wish to contribute further to our nation's development through PDP, the door is open.

Actually everything in Politics is Twisted. However, you should be more objective next time you are placing comment on a highly regarded forum such as Nairaland.

There's absolutely no need to call yourself names because of these embarrassing leaders!!

This man is confused.

i knew it, this man is a snake

pdp: papa decieve pikin..

Obasanjo didn't tear his party card, if you watch the video closely, you'll observe another man tore something, it could be anything actually but its not Obasanjo who did any tearing. So he's got a point and I knew this would come up some day when I saw the whole shenanigans
