People’s Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO) has slammed former President Olusegun Obasanjo for tearing his membership card, saying that such action was not only provocative, but also unacceptable.

The Director, Media and Publicity, Femi Fani-Kayode, in a statement, said that Obasanjo has burnt all the bridges with his action. He added that while the former president was free to leave, “he did not have to spit in their faces by publicly tearing the party card.

GEJ till 2019 no shaking. OBJ can go and hang himself for all I care. We are tired of godfatherism in Nigerian politics. This is the same thing Thiefnubu is doing in Lagos. They have rule and their tenor is over but they will always want to be in control, this is too bad.

Obasanjo is your boss and President Jonathan must be carefully with you because you might be the one releasing information to him.

Imagine, see this political prostitute talking, on sale to the highest bidder, that is why Nigeria will forever have problems. As long as people like Fani Kayode n co can shamelessly open their stupid mouths to insult people that have achieved more than they can ever achieve in their lifetime. Baba has made his choice respect it n shut up, it is his democratic right to belong or not to belong to a party, deal with it n digest it.

He obasanjo insulted himself, ,that shows the level of his exposure, ,tearing pdp card on camera views is tearing himself on camera bcos u can't talk of pdp without mentioning obasanjo's name,,so he must be unwise to tear his party. He is disappointed in Jonathans not bringing his cuts as planned,, , obasanjo is too deceptive and can deceive fools not the wise.

My people let me tell una, If your Father misbehave you have to call him to attention, Yes Obasanjo made Fani and Jonathan.. then who are those that made Obansanjo Civilian President in 1999? IBB, ANTHONY ANENI, ORJI UZOR KALU, ATIKU ABUBAKA,ABDUSALAM, DANTATA... All these men held a meeting at V.I and IBB directed  abdusalam to release OBJ/DIYA from prison and they contributed huge fund to sponsor him for presidency, Now Obasanjo is claiming GOD!!! and let him wait for his wrath ... He must be taken to Psychiatric for brain examination.. MAD BABA
