I’d Rather Tear My PDP Card Than Sit And Watch Jonathan Use PDP To Destroy Nigeria - Obasanjo

Former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, on Monday night took to popular social media platform, Twitter, to explain the idea behind his theatrical tearing of his Peoples Democratic Party membership card.

In the tweets, he reiterated his earlier position that the interest of Nigeria was far greater than individual or political interests.

He equally maintained that it was best he served the nation as a freelance citizen rather than be part of a PDP-led government that is already championing the doom of the country.

In the tweets, Obasanjo said: "I'd rather sacrifice my political party for the interest of Nigeria than sacrifice my country for a political party led by a drug baron.

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

He concluded by saying, "I have national and international standard to maintain. For this reason I'd rather stand alone than be in the same political party with Kashamu."

According to vanguardngr.com, Obasanjo said that the party card he tore was one of the considerations to him in the bid to project Nigeria, pointing out that there was nothing he could not sacrifice for the interest of the nation.

He boasted that despite the destruction of his party card, he would not be cowed by anyone, as he was still ready to comment on any matter that required his comment or view.

He said: "If there is anything that requires my comment, position or views, I will say it. It is only when you kill me that I will stop doing so."
