The Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Jibril Wali, on Monday accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of failing to comply with the party’s rules and procedure governing the steps of resigning from the party.
Wali pointed out that as a former chairman of the Board of Trustees, Obasanjo should have known the right thing to do.
Similarly, a member of the PDP Board of Trustees and former Minister of Transport, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, has described the reported resignation of Obasanjo from PDP as a welcome development.
According to Babatope: “Obasanjo leaving the PDP has come as a happy and welcome development.
“With Obasanjo’s exit, a huge yoke has been lifted off the necks of PDP.
“I congratulate the PDP for being patient in dealing with former President Obasanjo’s offensives against the party without embarking on wild and unproductive conclusions. “Though Obasanjo is a hard fighter, his exit will have no effect of any kind on the PDP.
“The PDP will by God’s grace win the March elections.”
