Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday announced his decision to quit the Peoples Democratic Party.
To prove his decision was irreversible, Obasanjo tore his PDP membership registration card.
The former president announced his decision when members of the party from his Ward II in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of Ogun State visited him at his Hilltop mansion residence in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The Chairman of the party in the ward, Alhaji Usman Oladunjoye, led the delegation.
Obasanjo ordered Oladunjoye to tear his (Obasanjo’s) PDP membership card at the meeting.
The move was hailed with a thunderous applause by those present.
Obasanjo said he has now become a statesman.
He equally denied the allegation by President Goodluck Jonathan that he was plotting to head an Interim National Government, which was the reason advanced by the administration at the centre for the recent criticism of the regime by Obasanjo.
More details soon.
