Former president and erstwhile chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, last night used his twitter handle to throw more light on why he tore his PDP membership card into shreds on Monday, stressing that his decision had given him the opportunity to comment on national issues as he feels.

While noting that he was no longer at ease being in the same party with a president whom he said was determined to use corruption to destroy the country, the former president used a series of tweets he posted to assert that he would not abide in a party that is led by a ‘drug baron’.

According to him, “I’d rather sacrifice my political party for the interest of Nigeria than sacrifice my country for a political party led by a drug baron.

“I’d rather tear the PDP membership card than sit down and let Jonathan use PDP and corruption to tear my beloved country apart.

“I have national and international standard to maintain. For this reason I’d rather stand alone than be in the same political party with Kashamu,” he said.

Insisting that the membership card he tore was one of the considerations to him in the bid to project Nigeria, Obasanjo claimed that there was nothing he could not sacrifice for the interest of the nation.

While vowing not to allow anybody intimidate him from airing his views, the former president asserted that, “If there is anything that requires my comment, position or views, I will say it. It is only when you kill me that I will stop doing so.”


He reiterated that “My first preoccupation is what is best for Nigeria: Nigeria first, party second and anything third.”

First the topic is very clear and it was your party chiefs that asked him to navigate your ship. I have been preaching on GMB and never eulogised some members of APC. In fact, I openly criticised some of them. Anyway, forget about me and look at the merit and demerit of this thread. One gotta move on

barcanista:
At least no one will have the moral right to say "PDP has wrecked Nigeria For 15years" because the Man that spent 8years, his Vice Atiku, His House of Reps Speaker Aminu Mansari and Majority of the Governors as at then are happily in APC. I feel bad for Buhari though, but life must go on. They say Goodluck practice 16>19, but under Obasanjo the APC Navigator there was 5>19. #Insincerity

Unibenstudent:
Following baba in this trend I resolve to tear mine..
*say no to unemployment
*say no to 7 presidents eg Allison madueke,PEJ
*say no to corruption is not stealing..

Arysexy:
I like d way GEJ is ignoring the chimpanzee, all he has been doing of recent is to get at Mr president so they can start exchanging words on paper.

Silence is d best answer to fools like obasagoat

SeverusSnape:
Chai!!!... **shedding tears**

Why should this happen for goodness sake?
May their souls rest in peace.
May the family of the deceased have the fortitude to bear the loss.
Please no one should politicize this

WombRaiders:
What is Seun's business if Buhari refuses to submit a single academic certification as required by the constituion and the electoral act?

You see how you Janjawiids operate on double standards...

Buhari is not above the law and your blind fanatism for him will not stop us discussing this issue.

This is exactly why I dread a Buhari win because it will unleash a fascist state on us.

Your foolish ignorant blind support for this gerriatic bigot illiterate will not be allowed to destroy our future, pleb.

barcanista:
It is no news that some media and personalities have been reporting of a "planned" installation of an Interim National Government by President Goodluck Jonathan. Sahara Reporters, Obasanjo and other "sources" are few people to be propagating this "revelation".

We were told that the Jonathan's administration has no plan to conduct the election and it planned to create a chaos for the Army led by General Kenneth Minimah to takeover the reins of power because they will rather not witness a Buhari government.

Later we were told that the President plans to perpetually remain in power by getting the NASS postpone the election for six months with the pretence of the crises in the North - East. The plan is to invoke Section 135(3) of the Constitution according to this theory.

Just of recent we were told by Sahara Reporters that their "Source" told them that Jonathan approached exHead of State General Abdulsalam Abubakar and "begged" him to head the supposed ING. The plan according to this source is to prevent Muhammadu Buhari from gaining victory at the poll. According to SR, the Jonathan government is to bribe NASS members with $2m and $1m each for Senate and Reps members respectively.
The plan here is for them to invoke Section 135(3) of the Constitution and declare the ING.

Aside from the fact that all theories appear disjointed and does not portray in anyway as to how Jonathan will benefit from the schemes, it also begs for the question of what is the possibility?

Firstly, Jonathan had told the US Secretary of State Mr John Kerry that the election will be held and a New Government inaugurated come May 29. President Jonathan repeated the statement in his media chat. So far, there has been no clue as to whether he plans to remain indefinitely. He also debunked the story of handing over to the Military or any illegal government

Secondly, the talk of Interim National Government is alien to our constitution. There is no way that can happen when we have no constitutional crises. There is no way Abdulsalam or Minimah can assume power except there is a coup. If there is any, then there will be a counter coup. Assuming Jonathan even considers bribing the NASS to get the six(6) months extension, he doesn't need an Abdulsalam or an ING to lead during the extension period. Section 135(3) of the Constitution is very clear that the incumbent preside over the country for the period of any extension. Considering that the opposition controls the House, the ruling party have the Senate, except there is a compromise, that will not scale through.

Thirdly, if the President is to exploit the Military. it will be to give PDP undue advantage at the poll by harassing the opposition on the day of election, and not to handover power to any Gen Minimah or a phantom ING that isn't feasible anywhere.

This talk of an ING is baseless, a distraction, a tool to heat up the already saturated polity. It is one propaganda too many. It is a threat to peace and our collective unity. I have absolute confidence that the election will be held and winner will be inaugurated come May 29.

Simple understanding has eluded your expired brain tissues I took a swipe at you because u took a swipe @ someone who spat the bitter truth your ass doesn't wanna hear.... Biggest FOOL in NIGERIA

kaboninc:
Truly you're hurt...for the right reasons but still in a wrong way. And that's why you'd never appreciate anything good in GEJ

Now let me clear you: I'm a supporter of GEJ and only GEJ! I support his policies and follow the trend of implementation. I support his administration and so the basis of ALL my arguments have always been on the pivot of an administration run by GEJ. That EXCLUDES the States.

With that in mind, I still challenge you to name a clear case of corruption that is not being handled. You talk of subsidy scam and power spending and what have you. They are all vague, ambiguous and palm wine parlour talks.

Be specific and yes I dare you to name just one.


Let me just advice you. Instead of chasing shadows, look at the bright future. Think of what you'd do differently if you ever come across an opportunity. Find ways to nail a thief as brilliant investigators do. Arm yourself with knowledge and information so that when someone comes to tell you that he'll END corruption when elected, you'll tell him you're not so dumb. Not relying on hear say and waka pass talks.

kaboninc:
I still need you to show me those facts that are 'convincing' enough to you in 'your everyday experience'. If you cannot provide any, even one, then you have no stand here.

Its obvious you're hurt. But for a moment be objective. Compare how things used to be and now. If you do not see any difference, bring it on and we'll trash it.
