OBJ Seeks To Return To PDP Over PMB Snub by oluwatomisin93(m): 4:33pm On Jul 22, 2015 |
Nigeria’s ex-president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, may be
seeking a return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
following a snub by president Muhammadu Buhari.
Obasanjo, a former army general, who publicly ripped his
party membership card, is said to be planning a return to
the PDP through the back door as his relationship with
the Nigerian president has refused to improve.
Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo (left) may be on his
way back to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) if
reports are anything to go by
Pointblanknews.com gathered that the president rejected
every attempt by the Ogun state-born politician to get
close to him (Buhari), shortly after he won the March 28
presidential election.
Obasanjo, who had publicly stated his preference for
Buhari ahead of former president, Goodluck Jonathan,
had reportedly made the first move to get cozy, with the
establishment of a think tank to study critical areas of the
economy and make recommendations to guide Buhari.
The committee, established under the Centre for Human
Security, an offshoot of Obasanjo’s presidential library,
studied five key areas – education, power, the economy,
security and infrastructure.
Reports confirmed that Obasanjo did not only present the
report to Buhari, he also positioned and presented
Stephen Orosanye to the president as a possible
candidate for the post of the secretary to the federation
which the Nigerian leader may not have favoured.
Garba Shehu, Buhari’s chief spokesperson, had told
reporters that the vice chairman of the committee and
former minister of finance, Dr Kalu Idika Kalu, presented
volumes of the report to Buhari in Abuja, but it was
unclear if the president is looking towards that direction.
And since it was gathered that Obasanjo’s ultimate goal
was to be in the good books of Buhari and evade any
form of scrutiny from his administration which seems not
to be forthcoming, the Owu high chief may be seeking a
return to the party which brought him into prominence.
Pointblanknews.com further hinted that Obasanjo’s
current move is to block any attempt to make immediate
past president, Goodluck Jonathan the BoT chairman of
the party.
A PDP source reportedly revealed that Obasanjo has
already begun moves to return to the party after setting
up meetings with PDP governors in the South- South and
South- East, but it seems that a handful of them are not
buying the idea, due to Obasanjo’s inglorious past and
how he subjected Jonathan and the party to public
ridicule.
Former Akwa Ibom state governor, Senator Godswill
Akpabio, is also reportedly being used by Obasanjo to
convince others and is being groomed for a vice
presidential spot in 2019 with a Northerner, preferably
embattled former governor of Jigawa state, Sule Lamido.
Lamido, is being tried for an allegation N10 billion fraud
which also involved his two sons.
Ijaw youths had slammed Obasanjo following his
comments on Jonathan, describing the comments as
baseless, false and condemnable. 2 Likes |

OBJ is debased and has lost relevance in Nigerian politics long ago. And he won't regain his position even if he is accepted back. OBJ is a political vomit 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Of what end could his purported come back to PDP be? For me, this story does not make sense, and I doubt he made such move. I could be wrong though In Nigeria anything is possible. |

Look at it again, if this news is anything to go by political planning, strategy and consolidation has started again. From where? The SW. When you feel aggrieved of a status quo, act like a man that you are, consolidate and show that you have the prowess. You don't have to start crying around. Tinubu wasn't a factor on the national scene some years back but he sat and planned for his relevance today. What is wrong in a politician from SE spear-heading the repair of PDP in preparation for 2019? They wont do that, it is after others have finished the brain work that you'll see them. According to a Yoruba adage, "You are not around, you are asking how did they share it, where were you? |
