Obasanjo Resigns As PDP BOT Chairman

[img]https://www.nairaland.com/download/674221[/img]

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has resigned as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party.

In a statement he personally signed and made exclusively available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Tuesday, Obasanjo said he had sent the letter of resignation to the chairman of the party.

``I have formally sent in my letter of resignation as the Chairman of BOT of PDP to the National Chairman of the party as prescribed in the party’s constitution,’’ he said.

The former president added: ``‘I have formally requested the President to allow my bowing out and to issue a short statement to that effect.

‘‘By relieving myself of the responsibility for chairmanship of BOT of PDP, I will have a bit more time to devote to the international demand on me.’’

He further said that the step would give him time ‘‘to give some attention to mentoring across the board nationally and internationally in those areas that I have acquired some experience, expertise and in which I have something to share’’.

Obasanjo said his exit would afford him more time to develop ‘my Presidential Library and to mobilising and encouraging investment in Nigeria and Africa.’

He noted that before the last general elections, he believed that if PDP produced the President, it would be time for him to reduce his partisan political activities.

Obasanjo recalled that he was actively involved in bringing forth ‘my successor president from PDP in 2007.

`‘In 2011, I was in the vanguard of working for PDP to produce a president for Nigeria. God answered our prayer.

I am not OBJ's fan but I must say that he surely has made a name for himself. Posterity shall surely reveal more of this personality who to me is a mystery. May God add more years to him until the shackles of the bondmasters is finally dismantled. Baba is still on top coolI am not OBJ's fan but I must say that he surely has made a name for himself.

perhaps you've heard of the coup d'etat and destabilization of democratic rule in Mali? I bet a statesman like Obasanjo can come and add value there, or do you prefer an imperialistic powers like France handle it for us?

@johnny,
this is typical nigerian - celebration of failure. what do you understand by the word STRUCTURE?
in all his greatness, nigeria does not have a standard police force, we have no independent and efficient judiciary, we have no light, no water, no roads, we have an educational system that cannot accommodate even the children of chairmen of local govt areas talk less of commissioners and ministers, we have no security. we don't have an airline, no single multinational company apart from those stealing our oil.
my prayer is that u wrote all these trash out of ignorance rather than pretence.
if i may ask, is the structure u mentioned the structure of stealing which has been made part of this pdp led govt?
those who trade on goats come here to write as if they are discussing with goats. you are proud of a structure that has produced multi talent criminals in the name of politicians.
do u think obasanjo has a home where he can sleep with his two eyes closed? u are making a mistake, the son whose wife he defiled will start from where he stopped.
