Former president Olusegun Obasanjo, early on Monday dumped
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He announced his disengagement at his Hilltop Mansion in
Abeokuta while hosting PDP leaders from his Ward 11, in Abeokuta North local
government.
The party led by the leader in the ward Sunmonu Oladunjoye

expelled from the party following his recent comment in the media.
Obasanjo said Nigeria belongs to all and must not be allowed
to collapse.
He noted that he stands on what will strengthen the nation
at all times.
Obasanjo thereafter handed his PDP membership card to
Oladunjoye who tore the card in the presence of all present.
Obasanjo who finally dumped the ruling party in the presence
of PDP members from ward 11 in Abeokuta North local government, said he would
prefer to be an elderstateman
