Obasanjo, Yar’Adua Begged Me To Join PDP – Peter Obi

Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, on Saturday said three Presidents had at different occasions asked him to join the ruling party but he declined.
He, however, mentioned only two of them – Olusegun Obasanjo and the late Umaru Yar’Adua.

President Goodluck Jonathan is the third president in the current democratic dispensation and in whose government Obi is serving as an honorary adviser on financial matters.

Obi said this at a National Executive Council meeting of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in Awka, Anambra State capital.

He said, “I was tempted by three Presidents to leave APGA. The first was President (Olusegun) Obasanjo. The second was President (Umaru) Yar’Adua, who invited me and the (then) Governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim, but I didn’t join (the party). They told me you (Obi) have the future, you have this…” the governor said.
