Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Saturday warned a factional chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Modu Sheriff, that the party was “dying”, and he just be responsible for its final rites.
Mr. Obasanjo spoke to Mr. Sheriff who visited him in Abeokuta on Saturday. He later explained to journalists what he said had been the subject of their closed-door meeting.
“He called me yesterday and said ‘where are you’ and I said, ‘I am in the country’ and he said, ‘May I come and see you?’ and I said ‘my house is open to all Nigerians of goodwill and even non-Nigerians of goodwill. And I said, he can come’,” Mr. Obasanjo said.
“I have said to my brother that I wish him well with the dying baby they have put on his laps because PDP is comatose and he was of course not in PDP, he has never been in PDP until now. When I was in PDP, I tried and encouraged him to come and PDP, but he did not come, but the PDP they have given him now is a dying PDP, a dying baby, it needs to be in intensive care, otherwise, he will just be an undertaker,” Mr. Obasanjo said.
Speaking further, the former president said he had not rescinded his decision to renounce partisan politics.
“Let me make it absolutely clear once and again, I have not renounced partisan politics, I don’t belong to any political party, not to talk of his own faction of PDP or any other faction of PDP.‎ But he came and I am very very happy to receive him and I said ‘look, for my own education, for my own knowledge, tell me what exactly is happening’, and he briefed me,” he said.
“And, as they all want to say now, ‘well, you were once the father of PDP’, I was once the leader, for eight years, I was the leader of PDP but the PDP that I was the leader of is not the PDP of today. The PDP of today, if you can talk of a party again as PDP, its soul has been taken out of it and those who allowed that to happen are, unfortunately, either in the country or out of the country unperturbed about the fate of the party and indeed the fate of the country.”
The former president said for democracy to thrive in the country there must be strong political party as opposition.
“For our democracy to thrive we need strong political party in government and strong political party in opposition. Today, PDP cannot claim to be a strong party in opposition, I don’t know if APC can claim, at the national level, to be a strong party in government either. Now that is part of the misfortune of this country today.
“That being the case, it must be the concern of all Nigerians that the present democratic dispensation must not be allowed to be derailed and for it not to be derailed, we must have a strong political party in government and a strong political party in opposition’.
“When they talk about institution, a political party is an institution and in a democracy, it is a very important institution that we must all nourish and we must all cherish’.
“But like I said, it is the responsibility of all Nigerians of goodwill and all friends of Nigeria that wish this country well that we should ensure that the institution that will underpin a virile, dynamic, thriving democracy are put in place,” he said.

For my own lovely country to synchronizably move at the same pace with other developing nations, we must hands together and atleast put OBJ in ephemeral hibernation His actions from day one, led us to the current hullabaloo, pandemonium, anarchy, chaos and of cos sardonic and lugubrious state we are currently facing. I hereby conclude my valid statement with a quote "For Nigeria to be good[politically], some homosapiens ought to enter the spirit realm....OBJ of cuz, is one of them"

Who Is Deceiving Who?

I will supply aso-ebi for the funeral of our once great party.

Meanwhile, baba on twitter earlier on Kenya vs Nigeria twitfight. Lol

All meaningful Nigerians knows that. No need beating a dead horse.

Obasanjo is a man that I do not understand what goes on in his mind, atimes, he plays angle and a times, he shows the devil that he is. The same PDP who never saw you as just a prisoner, who brought you from dungeon to throne. yet you slander them. Nigerian politics needs reformation, I must say

Actually both of them are part of the problem

We are the people's democratic party. We won't die. PDP... Power to the People.

Obasanjo till date still stand has the most productive president we have had in the last 16yrs.

He brought so many foreign investments to nigeria.
ed so many indegeneous companies
Laid down most of the transportation ideas being commisioned now
Cleared our foreign debts
Left more than what he met in the country's reserve.
Built us world class national edifice. Eg national stadium abuja.
Hosted the all african games and 1999 u20 worldcup.

Love him or hate him,his still the best. Stand to be corrected tho.

Before! you don't need to tell blind man that it is rainy

Over to you buhari boys. pls, give us the video too if avail... Obj himself is looking for revival since he can no longer rule Nigeria again from his hilltop Manson...

This Sheriff was sent by APC to destabili PDP, I thought as much tho.

After thIs clueless man leaves the Aso rock I wonder who will burry APC between obasanjo n tinubu.

Let PDP die with their stupid zoning agreement.

I will any party that is for progress and meritocracy.

“I have said to my brother that I wish him well with the dying baby they have put on his laps because PDP is comatose and he was of course not in PDP, he has never been in PDP until now. When I was in PDP, I tried and encouraged him to come and PDP, but he did not come, but the PDP they have given him now is a dying PDP, a dying baby, it needs to be in intensive care, otherwise, he will just be an undertaker,” .
