Chief Ebenezer Babatope, member, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustee (BoT), said the exit of former President Olusegun Obasanjo would not affect the fortune of the party.
Babatope, who stated this while reacting to the report of Obasanjo’s exit from the party on Monday in Abuja, said it was a welcome development.
The former President Obasanjo was reported have torn his PDP-membership card in a bid to maintain neutrality as an elder statesman in the polity.
This was after he had accused President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP of plotting to frustrate the conduct of the forthcoming general elections.
''Obasanjo leaving the PDP has come as a happy and welcome development. With his exit, a huge yoke has been lifted off the neck of PDP,’’ Babatope said.
He commended the PDP leadership for being patient in dealing with Obasanjo's offensives against the party all the while.
Babatope, who described Obasanjo as a hard fighter, however, said his exit would have no effect on the PDP's electoral fortune.
''With God on our side, the PDP would emerge victorious in the coming elections,’’ he said.
