Ogun PDP Reacts, Expels Obasanjo

Shortly after he announced his exit from the Peoples Democratic Party, tearing his membership card into shreds, the Ogun State chapter of the party on Monday announced the expulsion of former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.
The Chairman of the party, Mr. Bayo Dayo who announced the expulsion said “the leaders and members of the PDP family in Ogun state hereby state categorically that as from Monday, Feb. 16, Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo stands expelled and excommunicated from the party.

His ward 11, Abeokuta North Local Government, had earlier sent a letter dated Feb. 12 expressing serious concerns at his numerous anti-party activities and uncomplimentary utterances targeted at the leader of the party, President Goodluck Jonathan. “It is ironic that this is the same Obasanjo, who when he was president, neither tolerated nor accepted any opinion, suggestion or criticism during his tenure.
The general public, especially the media, are to take note that whatever Obasanjo does or says must no longer be seen from the prism of a PDP leader. “Members of the public, zonal organs of our party and the National Executive Committee of the PDP are to take note of the expulsion.’’
