Obasanjo destroyed an expired card —PDP

   

ABUJA—NATIONAL Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Professor Adewale Oladipo, yesterday, said that former President Olusegun Obasanjo destroyed an expired party membership card and not the new and authentic card being issued by the party.

He spoke yesterday when he received a group of students mobilization team led by Comrade Takun Olarewaju visited the party to express their support for PDP and its Presidential candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan.

Oladipo explained that the card which Obasanjo tore was an old one signed by former acting National Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje and not the authentic card which has the signatures of PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Muazu and himself, Prof. Wale Oladipo as national secretary.

He spoke as the party boasted that it would shock the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the South West.

Addressing journalists yesterday in Abuja, PDP Deputy National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus said that with PDP campaigns and its pedigree, President Jonathan will win the March 28 presidential election.

“We have the statistics that shows since 1999 that we have been consistent so what we have done is to re engineer our support at our base and they are ready for elections and we will win this election,” he said.
