Obasanjo to Jonathan, Mu’azu: I Can’t accept "Drug Baron" As South-West PDP Leader

 

 

Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has said he had no grouse against anybody in his party, the PDP, but that he will not accept a "wanted drug b*ron" as leader in the south west, as is currently the case.

In a statement released on Sunday, Obasanjo said the issue bordered on principle and morality.

Obasanjo said: “There are, for me, issues of principle, morality, honour, integrity, commitment and character which are paramount. For instance, as a former president of Nigeria, the chairman of West Africa Commission on Drug and a member of Global Commission on Drug, I cannot accept that the zonal leader of my political party and, worse still, in my zone, will be an indicted drug b*ron wanted in America. 

“How do I explain that to friends outside Nigeria? This is only one of the many issues that I have pointed and still pointing out.”

Obasanjo added: “I have national and international standard to maintain and reputation to keep and sustain. For these reasons, I opted to remain active only at the ward level of the party till the leadership does the needful.” 

President Obasanjo was apparently responding to series of appeals by the party leaders, including the Senate President David Mark and PDP chairman Adamu Mua’zu, who had recently paid him a visit at his Ota Farm home, pleading with him to forgive the party and return to its fold. They also asked him to lead President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election campaign.

Obasanjo, however, called on the leadership of the party to do the needful on the issues he had raised.

Prince Buruji Kashamu, "wanted" in the US for drug tr*fficking, was appointed chairman, Organisation and Mobilisation Committee of the PDP in South West by President Goodluck Jonathan.
