SHOCKER: OBJ Defects To APC by ebbie9ja(m): 11:53pm On Jan 27, 2015
Research has it that the former President of
Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo aka OBJ, has
finally defected to the GMB-Driven party –
APC.
Top Stakeholders associated with former President
Olusegun Obasanjo have left the Peoples Democratic Party
ship and defected to the All Progressives Congress.
According to PUNCH, these loyalists of OBJ decided to
switch parties because they felt they where not being
supported enough by the ruling party.
These loyalists had wanted to defect with OBJ but the Ex-
president urged them to stay on with the ruling party, after
PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu paid him a
visit this January.
This is a shocker but speaking with the former
President OBJ himself at his farm in Ota, he
has given a few reasons why his defecting
should not just be accepted by Nigerians but
should also be applauded.
Find his statement below:
“I have reason to believe that most or should I
say all of you are wondering why I have
chosen to defect to the defunct APC and I must
say that if I had been told that I would have to
switch party some 5 years ago, I myself would
have argued it.
I believe in transparency and integrity but
unfortunately, PDP is an opposite of such
attributes.
They dwell in deception and in the lowest
form of debase if I may say.
I believe change is what Nigeria needs and
regardless of whether GMB can deliver or not
,
it is still change in a way. Nigeria needs to be
delivered from a useless government that has
taken over since I left presidency.
If you have read my book, you will see that
Jonathan is nothing different from my VP
when I was president. Atiku was just a big
time backbiter unknown to him that when you
have people behind you, your back actually
becomes visible to you.
I want to use this medium to say a very big
thank you to the leaders of the APC for
accepting me as I am and I am proud to say
that come 2015, APC is taking over Nigeria for
good of us all.
I am a civilian like you all now so I
understand what it means to live in the
suburbs as you are all aware that I stay
nowhere else apart from my village here in
Ota.
Finally, I would like to implore all Nigerians
that come 2015 Elections, VOTE GOOD
GOVERNMENT NOT GOOD LUCK”

Someone should please as OBJ, if the ministers of Finance, Works, Petroleum and foreign affairs were his boys, will he have defected...the day OBJ began to rant was the day GEJ ended the politics of godfatherism...yhis defection is long over due. He is a drowning politician looking for relevance.

If this turns out to be true,then it's indeed a shocker. Meeehn Jonathan is finished. They all know that baba is a political heavyweight that why they ve been begging him all this while
In any case for me it's a good news. It's so sure Jonathan is going back to bayelsa. Despite all the propaganda they spent billions on. What a waste. But PDP don't worry,come 2023 you can come try your luck again,then you can recover your investment

Mission Accomplished.... He started this and i am not surprised because he is the backbone of APC formation if we reason well

I weep for all the youths in my country because all these politicians dont have future for them.. Imagine Obj calling the pot black..

The only change we should be looking for is how to shut down all the old leaders in my nation Nigeria..

How many times will he defect to APC? If it's true, that will be the greatest political miscalculation of Obasanjo? Anyway, he's old and has nothing to regret.

Don't kill yourselves over fake quotes. The illiterate OP used "defunct APC" ;d They are the same, forging everything. Like candidate like supporters, illiterates but out of desperation, forge certificate, postals, crowd and comments.
