"OBASANJO's EXIT FROM PDP IS GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH" - FAYOSE

Following General Olusegun Obasanjo's exit from the PDP and tearing his membership card in public, Ekiti State governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose come hard on the retired general describing his exit as a good omen to the party."Obasanjo's exit is good riddance to bad rubbish. His departure is inglorious, we will never miss him."

Fayose said Obasanjo's tearing of his PDP membership card was a vindication of his stand that the former president should have been shown a red card by the PDP a long time ago. "Now the PDP can sleep with two eyes closed because the lion among our brethren, the tormentor of Nigeria just departed from our party to join the All Progressives Congress (APC)." He added that the former president was "a man without honour" who has been the major problem of the PDP and that "tearing his membership card was to save him from imminent expulsion."

"Obasanjo shouldn't just tear his PDP membership card; he should relinquish the ownership of Bell University, Obasanjo Farms, Obasanjo Presidential Library, and other financial benefits he got during his eight years as president," Fayose said. Speaking further, Fayose said; "Obasanjo's formal exit from the PDP at this time will further enhance the chance of the party in the presidential election because Nigerians will now see that eight out of the 16 years that the APC claimed was a waste was spent by the party because Obasanjo and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who ruled Nigeria from 1999 to 2007 are now members of APC.
