Obasanjo and Buhari
Speaking to journalists in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, while
assessing some projects initiated by his administration in the state,
former President, Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday, bade the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) good night, saying he will not return to the
party, adding that he terminated his membership of PDP in February last
year.
Commenting on the lingering crisis in the party, Obasanjo said he
had already bade PDP good night and cannot return to say good evening.
“In the part of the country where I come from, there is a
saying that you cannot say ‘good night’ and come back to say ‘good
evening’ in the same place. So for me, it is good night for the Peoples
Democratic Party and that’s all,” he said.
The former head of state expressed confidence that President
Muhammadu Buhari will surmount the present challenges confronting the
country.
“So far Buhari has not disappointed us. I trust him (Buhari),
he will not fail Nigerians. I know he will overcome the challenges the
country is currently facing,” the ex-President said.
He however, urged the President to complete the hydroelectric project on the Mambilla Plateau in Taraba.
