FORMER President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has forgiven the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for “bad conduct and mistreatment” meted out to him.

This is sequel to an apology tender to the former president by the PDP on Saturday. The party had in March apologised to Nigerians for its misgovernance pleading for a second chance.

The opposition party’s national chairman, Uche Secondus, led a 21-member delegation of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) on a courtesy call on Mr Obasanjo, when the apology was tendered.

This is according Obasanjo’s media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, who made this known in a statement.

Mr Akinyemi said other issues raised by Mr Secondus were the situation in the country, the progress of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on grand alliance of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP).

He said the PDP national chairman also appealed with Mr Obasanjo to continue to proffer solutions to the nation’s socio-economic and political problems.

Mr Akinyemi said that Mr Obasanjo granted forgiveness to the party in line with biblical injunction.

He said the former president urged them to pay attention to issues that were needed to restore PDP as a party of good image, discipline, commitment, leadership and moral principles.

On CUPP being championed by PDP, he said Mr Obasanjo advised that the coalition should remain an alliance as being projected and not a merger.

“The MoU for grand alliance is what it says, a grand alliance. It is neither a merger nor absorption of any political party by any political party.

“It is clear for the parties which agreed to be of the alliance to work together to achieve one important common objective at the national level for the election of 2019.

“Where it is appropriate and necessary, may also form alliance and co-operation at the state level.

“The individuality and independence of each political party must be observed and respected by all parties concerned.

“It is also desirable that in the process of implementing the MoU to achieve the set objective, solidarity and focus on the objective must be maintained.

“Each member political party must be cautious of fake news, rumours, blackmail, and seeds of discord that may be sown among them from external quarters,” Mr Akinyemi quoted Mr Obasanjo as saying.

He said the former president at the meeting reiterated that he had quit partisan politics, but would continue to make himself available to guide any party that so desired.

Mr Akinyemi, however, maintained that he would prioritise his service to the African Democratic Congress.

Mr Secondus, who spoke with journalists shortly after the meeting, said the chieftains of the party were in Abeokuta to consult with Mr Obasanjo ahead of the 2019 general elections.

Enemy of my enemy is my friend. Ever since OBJ left power in 2007, he has always been on the winning side. Aligning with PDP again may prove decisive in 2019

Laughing at them

Same Baba that attended GEJ's daughter wedding, dance and still uprooted him.

PDP should not waste their time because Pa OBJ will only Sule Lamido which may not win PDP primary.

Wetin concern me self, Pdp is dead long time ago.

If it is coalition to bring back lost democracy, rule of law etc... am in.

All this ones sef, no wahala sha

It's too late PDP.

PDThief

He did

Let Nigeria decides

Enough of party politics

The more you look the less you see.

Who forgives who?

It should have been the other way round

4601CE:
Thief

You lack sense of reasoning

The forgiveness should be the other way round,

Obj is among the major actors that foisted this istration on us.

He should seek the forgiveness of the masses instead!

PDP have learnt their bitter lessons.
No more Fulani herdsmen killing
No more fulanization

.

Spent force.

And I will tell you the major reason why Obasanjo is fluctuating like NEPA light.
He doesn't want anyone to break his record of the President that used the highest or longest tenure forgive my English you should get my message . , that's what he did in Oga Jona's tenure. Now Bubu

This game is for the wise

OBJ is just coming back to make sure Atiku doesn't get PDP ticket, since his third force has not received Nigerians blessings.

Who want hear make him hear.
2019 is a walkover for Sai Baba! 7 months to general election, just 2 months to the Primary election. Yet there is no credible presidential aspirant against Buhari. Even the so called aggrieved of the APC are afraid of defecting, only wishing for the party to offer them automatic ticket and other concessions.

I tire for this opposition parties I swear.

Pdp all the way....

Take a walk in hell, no one cares

This is nigeria where you can do anything to get something. Next comment pls....

Obj should also write a long apology letter to all reasonable Nigerians (not zombies) for imposing Buhari on us..

hypocrisy

This is nigeria where you can do anything to get something. Next post pls....

You don't need this. If your house is clean,others will u. The worst is PDP don't know who will b their Presidential candidate come 2019

Obasanjo is now like Tonto Dike... Both divorced their partner but everyday they keep dreaming about coming back but dont know hoe to go about it.... Seriously Obasanjo forgive PDP It is the prodigal son that asks for forgiveness... we do not need a serial liar... He should that GEJ has trained snipers waiting for him... We do not need him in PDP... He should just go back home and wait for prison

It should be the other way round. PDP forgiving Obasanjo for tearing hip card

Has he forgave Fayose too ?

Belgium 2:0 England

Ebora owu,we are Happy that you've forgiven the PDP.
Now let work together to send Fulani herdsmen back to his 150gay cows waiting earnestly for him in Daura.

Why won't he forgive his fellow looters?



A THIEF WILL ALWAYS BE A THIEF
