May Nigeria not die like PDP – Obasanjo

Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a dead party.

Speaking at an event organized by the Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilization of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOP), Abeokuta, the former President also called for prayers for igerians so the country doesn’t sink like PDP.

Obasanjo, who was a former chairman of PDP Board of Trustees, lamented that the party that was once in control of 30 states out of the 36 states in the country is now a shadow of itself.

The former President attributed the party’s situation to protracted internal wrangling.

According to Obasanjo,  “When all was going well, when Ahmadu Ali was the chairman of the party, we were 30 out of the 36 states.

“I brought Ahamdu Ali as the national leader of the party. But, when Ahmadu and I left, the fortune of the PDP sunk.”

Obasanjo added that “May the fortune of Nigeria never sink like that of the PDP”.

Many of those in attendance replied with a loud “Amen”.
