Why I resigned as PDP BOT Chairman, by Obasanjo

ABEOKUTA— Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, weekend, broke his silence on why he resigned as the party’s Board of Trustees Chairman, claiming that he did it so as to concentrate on international issues.

Obasanjo said his resignation was “to attract business opportunities to Africa in general and Nigeria, in particular, in view of the happenings in Europe and America.”

Reacting to the crisis bedeviling the Peoples’  Democratic Party, PDP, in Ogun State, the former President declared that he had no grudge against ex-governor of the state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, the party’s financier, Buruji Kashamu and other aggrieved members of the party.

Obasanjo, who spoke during a stakeholders’ meeting in his Hiltop residence in Abeokuta, urged party executives to open its doors to everybody ‘regardless of their antecedents.’

It would be recalled that the party has been enmeshed in leadership crisis which had polarised the party into four  factions with Obasanjo, Daniel, Kashamu and Jubril Martins-Kuye leading the factions.
