Ondo APC says Obasanjo’s Departure from PDP Signifies End for Ruling Party
The Ondo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress has commended the former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, for departing the Peoples Democratic Party, saying the move was a sign of the end time for the ruling party.
In a statement released in Akure on Wednesday, the Ondo APC publicity secretary, Omo’ba Adesanya, described Obasanjo’s action as an indication of the freedom Nigerians needed from the PDP.
“To those who are poised to effect positive change in the Nigerian polity, it marks an end to impunity, unemployment, infringement on human rights, insecurity, corruption and economic backwardness and sabotage.
“To those who are opposed to this positive change, they see it as a mere display of frustration from this erstwhile leader. Whether it is a positive action or otherwise, time will definitely tell.”
The Ondo APC also said that President Jonathan’s refusal to listen to Obasanjo’s counsels had contributed to the country’s plunge in serious economic and security problems.
