NEWS UPDATE: This drama is gonna be one long season! Why i dumped PDP - Former president Olusegun Obasanjo

Reactions won’t strop tracking the yesterday’s exit of Nigeria’s former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
After having served 8 years in the party, OBJ announced his quit and publicly tore his membership card saying he would no longer stay in politics. Following the unpleasant development the Ogun chapter of the PDP announced the expulsion of the politician from the ruling party.

Commenting on the situation, Chariman of the Board of Trustees, Chief Tony Anenih, said the former President had the right to dump the party adding however that he would not be missed. Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, was outraged by OBJ’s behaviour and called him “a man without honour”.
In the evening of February 16 the PDP issued an official statement on the incident, in which the party expressed sadness over the move.

But what does the newsmaker himself has to say about his decision?
Obasanjo yesterday took to a Twitter account allegedly belonging to him (@SegunObasanjo)and shared several tweets. Some of them amongst others are mentioned below:

A party card is the least of my preoccupation to what is good for Nigeria. There's nothing I can't sacrifice for the interest of my country.

I'd rather tear the PDP membership card than sit down and let Jonathan use PDP and corruption to tear my beloved country apart.
