OBJ finally dumps PDP, rips apart membership card (See Photos)

After months of heavily criticizing President Goodluck Jonathan, former president Olusegun Obasanjo, may have finally dumped the ruling party, Peoples Democratic Party(PDP).

Obasanjo held a press conference in the presence of PDP members from ward 11 in Abeokuta North local government, on Monday, February 16, to state that he is no longer interested in the PDP.

The former President while addressing members of the PDP at his mansion in Abeokuta, said he would prefer to be an elder statesman.

During the conference, Obasanjo was assisted in ripping apart his PDP membership card but he is, however, yet to announce what political party he intends to pitch tent with.

Obasanjo is a founding member of the PDP and the first democratically elected president of the party.

In his two terms as president, he was elected twice on the platform of the party.
