Re: PDP Laments Obasanjo’s Exit, Says Ex-president Rejected Pleas by OLADD: 12:08pm On Feb 17, 2015
Ptimes:
The ruling Peoples Democratic Party has expressed sadness over former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s decision, Monday, to dump the party.
Mr. Obasanjo announced his resignation from the party at a dramatic meeting where he ordered his party membership card be shredded.
PDP officials had earlier condemned the act, with the secretary of the party’s Board of Trustees, Walid Jibrin, saying Mr. Obasanjo acted irresponsibly.
The chairman of the board, Tony Anenih, said the former leader will not be missed by the party.
In its official statement, signed by spokesperson, Olisa Metuh, the PDP said it was “saddened” by Mr. Obasanjo’s departure, and lamented the party’s inability to pacify the former president after several pleas.

[b]Read full Statement below:

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has received the news of the decision of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to withdraw his membership of our great party. We have also carefully examined the circumstances and the reasons adduced for this unfortunate decision.
While we concede to the inalienable rights of every citizen to hold opinion and to decide who to associate with, we are however deeply saddened that Chief Obasanjo, a revered leader of our party, our first Presidential flagbearer whom the PDP offered the platform to rule our nation for eight years, could decide to abandon this party at this critical point in time.

This is especially as Chief Obasanjo, who was also the Chairman of the highest advisory organ of the PDP, the Board of Trustees (BoT) discountenanced all pleas by elders and leaders of our great party with regard to his reservations on certain issues within our fold.

Many Nigerians are still bewildered as to what manner of provocation could have led a former President to lose his composure and go to the extent of tearing the membership card of the party that he once led.

Indeed, the PDP is hugely at loss as to how the decision and action of the former President who had enjoyed the benefits of being elected to the highest position of leadership will assist in deepening our democracy and stabilizing the polity.
It is our considered opinion that no matter the provocation, a statesmanly disposition from a person of Chief Obasanjo’s status could have encouraged our citizens and help in stabilizing system.

We believe however, that what this country needs now is patriotic actions that engender national unity, tolerance and peaceful coexistence of our people irrespective of political, ethnic and religious
persuasions. The overall interest of our nation and wellbeing of our citizens must remain paramount and above all personal and group interests.

Finally, we direct all our members across the country to remain focused on our campaigns and not to be distracted on this issue. With an array of credible candidates led by our Presidential flagbearer, President Goodluck Jonathan, we are sure that we will emerge victorious come March 28 and April 11, 2015 general elections.

I think many Nigerians would by now, see how irresponsible and petty Obasanjo is. For a founding father of a major political party to jettison all decorum, throw all caution to the wind and barbarically tear his party membership card in the open, all in a bid to ridicule the platform on which he became somebody today, practically says much about the so-called statesmen. If a person is sacked or decides to relinquish his membership of a body or organisation, civility demands him/her to voluntarily handover all properties in his/her possession without resulting to rascality just as Obj did. One major fallout from this is that the president is vindicated for referring to some statesmen as motor park tout. Obasanjo does not only fit that description, he's is indeed an old man with the brain of a toddler.

antiscamservice:
While there's no doubt that Jonathan has really dissappointed Nigerians, I believe Chief Obasanjo's utterances have been too vitriolic and have heated up the polity incessantly.

As an elder statesman and former president, you should exercise restraint and desist from statements capable of raising the country's political temperature at this critical point in our history.

I feel the ota based ex-president should emulate an exemplary ex-military ruler like Abdulsalam Abubakar in conduct and composure.

As a christain, instead of making explosive statements against the president, he should keep praying for him and the nation.

My sincere advice for baba is that he should give more prominence to how he will make Heaven when he passes on, and minimize his obsession with the affairs of the transient world.
what is this heaven,heaven thinghuh

why not make heaven here on earth?

why must someone first reach heaven to,breed free?

Re: PDP Laments Obasanjo’s Exit, Says Ex-president Rejected Pleas by Seawhy(m): 12:12pm On Feb 17, 2015
The problem with PDP is that they dont know how to manage people.
PDP problem started with governors forum, where every body expects democracy to take its role.
But it was changed and PDP could not manage the situation.
Apart from that, Atiku and many governors walked out of PDP convention.
Still PDP did not read the writing on the wall and from there so many things started going wrong in PDP.
Even the recent primaries conducted in so many stateS were marred with irregularities.
Mr Maku, former Minister of information left PDP out of anger.
Now, Chief Obasanjo has displayed his own, followed by SSA to Gombe state. Who now knows waht will happen next
This is what would have been avoided, if PDP were serious and determined to change things.
Everywhere is CHANGE CHANGE APC APC

Most people don't understand the reason why Obj is at loggerheads with the leadership of his former party.

Two names:
Sambo Dasuki (NSA) former ADC to Babangida when he was a president
Aliyu Gusau (Defence Minister) former ADC to Babangida when he was Chief of Army Staff

The above names are loyalist of IBB who did not campaign for Jonathan in 2011 unlike OBJ who shared the podium with the president a couple of times in the 2011 elections. Now if we are to go back on obj's book (my watch) Obj told us how his loyalist were no where to be found in Jona's cabinet. If I'm Obj I would feal thesame way.
Then we should be expecting handing over to an ING to be headed by IBB.

another beer parlor comment. gentlemen have agreement - we cannot know the true reason for their quarrel apart from the fact that GEJ lied bare face to OBJ about seeking second term in office. have you disowned your father for controlling you? think about it.
Was that enough reason for OBJ to pull down the whole country? Didn't Buhari tell the whole world (amidst serious weeping) that he won't contest for the presidency again? Is it a crime for someone from the minority to rule for 8 years? Didn't the north rule this country for 40 years?

Re: PDP Laments Obasanjo’s Exit, Says Ex-president Rejected Pleas by free2ryhme: 12:44pm On Feb 17, 2015
Obasanjo remains the greatest asset of the PDP till date. All GEJ had been doing within the last six years have been embellishments of all what Obasanjo administration started while in collaboration with Diezani, who has appointed and sacked 5NNPC MD's in 5years, concentrated on looting the nation dry through income diversion and crude oil sales. Given their occupation of the National Income pipe, they allowed their PDP goons a widespread space for internal corruption and looting.
OBJ's PDP gave Nigeria GSM and brought telephone for the poor that was previously for the rich according to David Mark in the early 90s, OBJ structured the payment of our national debts in excess of $45billion from the little average crude Oil prices of less than $80 per barrel, even when crude prices fell to $9.00 per barrel during the OBJ's administration, our exchange rate was not affected negatively, OBJ introduced EFCC, Improved Nigeria's International image after the killing of Saro Wiwa, made fuel available without subsidy corruption, Started the commercialisation of Nepa to PHCN and paid 25% funds out of the fake $16billion scam through Dr Iweala which was now commissioned by GEJ as his project, started the Cassava for bread initiative and other agric projects and the reactivation of the Rails,created massive employment in banking communication, gas, oil manufacturing etc, gave Nigeria a vibrant middle class with improved banking with car leases and other structured products and the capital market prior to the global depression which was better managed by Professor Soludo,dealt with the Sharia riots with wisdom which eventually showed the foolishness of its Northern sponsors and many others.
OBJ singularly supported GEJ to be President when the Northerners wanted to deprive him of the position while Chief Anenih and all the present PDP backers and GEJ himself ran for cover when the military brought Yaradua back in the NIGHT. OBJ single-handedly used his money to visit Saudi Arabia to see the incapacitated Yaradua and confronted the North and supported that Nigeria can only be one when individuals from every zone, could have access to the number one position in the land. OBJ's fight with GEJ is due to the unpardonable looting by the GEJ group.
We must give credit to GEJ for building and extending on OBJ's programmes with the relative application of his education. This the Northern cabal wanted to work against, through the instigation of Yaradua to rubbish Baba OBJ's programmes. GEJ did more with the Nigerianisation of the oil sector. Most of his partially successful programmes such as roads, bridges and health were by SureP which came about as a result of the subsidy riot. One is then tempted to ask the Ministers, what their yearly budgets were expended upon and Diezani about the 3 refineries she promised will be on stream in three years. Stealing and Corruption Incorporated while their is massive poverty and unemployment in the land, youth induced crime
OBJ tried his best to assist GEJ but the latter had greed on his mind. OBJ singularly went to meet the family of the Boko Haram leader at the risk of his life and later advised GEJ, knowing fully well that GEJ's failure will be ascribed to him. GEJ responded that he is not a General or King David when Baba warned him to deal decisively with Boko Haram, at their initial stages. Baba also talked about the official stealing of crude and the diversion of our national patrimony. GEJ and his cohorts came out to abuse the old man. Nigerians have now vindicated OBJ with the very terrible state of the Government finances with exchange rate as high as N213 to a US dollar from N155 within 3 months.
In one of our discussions with a Nigerian Brigadier General in New York, he postulated that the present military is different from the military of the 80s and 90s. The reason he gave is that the youthful soldiers are all on the internet and that when he sent one his junior orderlies to sensitise on their refusal to confront Boko Haram. The Orderly was told that the Soldier boys were not ready to fight for a country with such official leadership stealing and looting.
In sum, GEJ's second term would have been a cup of tea had GEJ capitalised on his Goodwill by working genuinely for the Nigerian people. A million OBJ's would not have been able to stop him for a second term. GEJ has a right to change his mind if he had performed and not looted.

The APC is a not better in terms of corruption because corruption is corruption whatever the guise since they say theirs was restricted to percentages on projects. Tinubu's is more scientific as he does contracts with his Governments and also earns professional fees on his tax services. This is however much better than stealing from the National income like our Ogas at the TOP.

The APC heard the yearnings of the masses and was smart enough and discovered that the only way to reach Nigerians was to look for that hard incorruptible Nigerian in the person of a Buhari to save the nation. Buhari is like a Tiger when corruption is involved because he could end up eating any of his riders. Even OBJ acknowledged it to some people that he does not believe that Buhari would not arrest him if he should cross the corruption line. OBJ tore his card to remove the PDP leprosy mark on his body.PDP is therefore finished even GEJ knows it himself.

In sum, when Nigeria had Global problems in 1999, a General in the person of OBJ was brought out from prison to rescue Nigeria. Nigeria today is on the brink and Nigeria needs an incorruptible General before corruption kills the nation and the exchange rate rises top N1,000 to one US dollar. Had Idiagbon being alive today, there would have been no Buhari.

Hmm.. Obj is now being demonised by his party simply because he criticized them. Obj is not perfect, but his sin obviously is that he pointed out flaws in his party and the way Nigeria is being run under the leadership of a party he was a core founding member.
Obasanjo remains the greatest asset of the PDP till date.

OBJ singularly supported GEJ to be President when the Northerners wanted to deprive him of the position while Chief Anenih and all the present PDP backers and GEJ himself ran for cover when the military brought Yaradua back in the NIGHT.

OBJ singularly went to meet the family of the Boko Haram leader at the risk of his life and later advised GEJ, knowing fully well that GEJ's failure will be ascribed to him. GEJ responded that he is not a General when OBJ warned him to deal decisively with Boko Haram, at their initial stages.

He is standing true to what he believes, shaming people whom he supported and have failed to perform.well if Pdp didn't want more drama Gej shouldn't have arm twisted the security agencies and Inec. How can security agency choose when to provide security? too risky. Chief Obasanjo was bold enough to tear his PDP's membership card openly but there are so many other top Party nembers who will, without the knowledge of Jonathan, destroy theirs in secret.

Nigerians hate the truth and i believe that those rogues around GEJ who are insulting OBJ today will also be the ones to hail him tomorrow.is there any reason given by OBJ for taken such a decision that is not true? No one bites the fingers that fed him and go scotfree. It is very sad and disheartening to hear the same Fani Kayode who was made minister twice under Obasanjo calling his former benefactor unprintable names. OBJ was pushed to the war by Jonathan , his loose mad dogs and the unpardonable looting by the GEJ group.OBJ tried his best to assist GEJ but the latter had greed on his mind. All of them castigating Obj will still work for him .

Jonathanians should be ashamed of themselves ,after the comical show of bravado and heaps of insults they mounted on OBJ ,their principal now turns around to send governors including some that contributed why Jonathan failed to go and plead on his behalf,if these people were humans,they should realize that they have been humiliated. Okupe and Reuben Abati have also lost credibility because all the defense they put up was rubbished by this visit. Jonathan ebele knows were the shoe pinches him that is why he is sending people to beg OBJ.

As shown on TV, Its the PDP ward chairman of ward 11 that tore the membership card of Chief Obasanjo. Though he was asked to do it, he should have refused due to respect for his party, but he joyfully tore it. Its symbolic that PDP ward chairman has no respect for their party .OBJ has done the right thing. you don't know the importance of what you have until it is lost.

Please let's look beyond the surface before reaching conclusions. PDP is therefore finished just like APGA died after Ojukwu`s death...even GEJ knows it himself.


Change is coming.

GenBuhari:
[size=18pt][b]Thief Obasanjo can never support Buhari.

Why would a criminal that pocketed $16bn he was meant to use for electricity power and who sold off virtually all our nation's assets including oil blocks with nothing to show for it, support Buhari?

He is a master of deception and causing confusion.

He is positioning himself to be selected to head an interim government once elections are eventually cancelled in a few weeks time.

Hence why he has to appear as an elder state man who is not affiliated to any political party.

All his criticism and call for change is calculated to make Nigerians tolerate him in the hope that he would conduct free and fair elections within months.

However what he really going to be there to do, is preside as the break up of Nigeria, which he had initiated with his giving away Bakassi to Cameroon, is completed by allowing France (with collusion of America) and it's puppets Cameroon, Chad and Niger to continue bombing clearing and annexing Nigerian territory ; using the the excuse of fighting Boko Haram (who are Chadian and Cameroonian troops in mufti).

The elections we are waiting for will never take place in a Nigeria as presently constituted.

This why Nigeria needs APC parallel government to be installed immediately.

If immediate action is not taken, we would find ourselves swimming in rivers of our own blood.
It is well.[/b][/size]
do you have any proof as regard him embezzling 16 billion usd? Pls be informed that the electric power sector reform act was signed in 2005. Nw he started implementing the reform and the light situation improved from 1500mw to over 3000mw.
All the vast, complex, additional and extremely expensive turbines and equipment that we needed to import in order to lift our power generation to the next level of over 10,000 megawatts per day arrived at our ports shortly after President Obasanjo left office and not too long after President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua was sworn in. Instead of clearing them at the ports, sending them to the relevant sites all over the country and installing them, he simply refused to let them into the country, he refused to pay the custom duties on them or waive those duties and he left them to rot at the ports. Infact he went on to suspend the reform. Credit to president goodluck Jonathan for reviving the NIPP project and implementing of the reform which was initiated by obasanjo . The right question should be why did yardua suspend the reform?

Save this story for the Gods of our ancestors.
loswhite:
do you have any proof as regard him embezzling 16 billion usd? Pls be informed that the electric power sector reform act was signed in 2005. Nw he started implementing the reform and the light situation improved from 1500mw to over 3000mw.
All the vast, complex, additional and extremely expensive turbines and equipment that we needed to import in order to lift our power generation to the next level of over 10,000 megawatts per day arrived at our ports shortly after President Obasanjo left office and not too long after President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua was sworn in. Instead of clearing them at the ports, sending them to the relevant sites all over the country and installing them, he simply refused to let them into the country, he refused to pay the custom duties on them or waive those duties and he left them to rot at the ports. Infact he went on to suspend the reform. Credit to president goodluck Jonathan for reviving the NIPP project and implementing of the reform which was initiated by obasanjo . The right question should be why did yardua suspend the reform?

[size=15pt]Old fool?? If you ever get relevant as obasanjo in your lifetime, hopefully u get called an old fool at his age to understand the weight of what u just spewed. Even Jonathan, reno, abati, okupe as old and great they have become can not call him an old fool. Because u are on social media does not mean u should throw all manners ur parents taught u away(if they did at all).[/size]

Why lamenting on Obasanjo's exit?He is one of the leaders that threw us into this mess we are in today.Which achievement could Obasanjo boast of when he was the president,yet he wants to rule Nigeria right from his otta farms.He has continued to embarrass himself.This is somebody that brought GEJ to power and he thinks GEJ will always take decisions from him.Obasanjo got angry simply because GEJ refuses to be controlled by him.So I see no reason why people should lament over Obasanjo's action.He should be ignored completely.
Mr he provided phone u are using to access this site, without him u won't know wats going on. I think that's enough.
