The former President of the country chief Olusegun Obasanjo had a meeting with ousted national chairman of the PDP Ali Modu Sheriff during which he told him that the party was at death’s door.
The pair met at Obasanjo’s home in Abeokuta where they held a closed-door meeting. Obasanjo revealed what was 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 join 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,” Obasanjo said.
He also reiterated that he was not for any political party and that he was done with partisan politics.
“Let me make it absolutely clear once and again, I have 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.
