Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Saturday denied media reports suggesting he attended an event convened by his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party in Abuja.
Obasanjo, in a text message, he sent to PremiumTimes on Saturday morning said the reports were a ploy by their masterminds to score “cheap political gains”.
He said he was at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre as guest of Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the Senate Committee Chairman on Agriculture, when some PDP leaders stormed the venue to great him.
“Chief Obasanjo’s resignation from party politics is final,” the statement said.
“If I quit a party when it was alive and seemingly united, how could I go back to a now divided, factionalized party grasping for breath?”.
Chief Obasanjo last year had renounced PDP and torn his membership ID card.
