In three tweets, yesterday night, explaining his decision, Obasanjo said: “I’d rather sacrifice my political party for the interest of Nigeria than sacrifice my country for a political party led by a drug baron.
“I’d rather tear the PDP membership card than
sit down and let Jonathan use PDP and corruption to tear my beloved country
apart.
“I have national and international standard to
maintain. For this reason I’d rather stand alone than be in the same political
party with Kashamu.”
Obasanjo said that the party card he tore was
one of the considerations to him in the bid to project Nigeria, pointing out
that there was nothing he could not sacrifice for the interest of the nation.
He boasted that despite the destruction of his
party card, he would not be cowed by anyone, as he was still ready to comment
on any matter that required his comment or view.
He said: “If there is anything that requires
my comment, position or views, I will say it. It is only when you kill me that
I will stop doing so.”
