What exactly does the PDP want from the former president, Olusegun Obasanjo? The political party has gone to have a talk with him again.
The national chairman of the PDP, Mr. Iyorchia Ayu has led a team of former governors to have a meeting with the former president of the country. What does the party want him to do?
The leadership of the pdp ought to remember his contributions towards the failure of the party to maintain its grip on power in 2015. He abandoned the PDP when he was needed.
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar went to him during the buildup to the 2019 presidential election. Truly, he forgave the former vice president. But how effective was the parley? It bore no fruits.
Olusegun Obasanjo has distanced himself from partisan politics. He can’t boast of any structure in any angle of the country at all. How strong is the PDP in Ogun State?
Then, what exactly does the PDP want from him? His advice? How can he politically advise the opposition party at this crucial time?
The national chairman and his team of former governors will have reasons for visiting or consulting the former head of the country. But it is apparent that Obasanjo is no longer in the vogue.
At this moment Obasanjo belongs to the same category as Ibrahim Babangida. They can’t in any way influence the outcome of elections. They don’t simply have what it takes anymore.
The PDP can’t ask him to help them identify a strong and viable candidate. That won’t happen anytime soon at least. At the same the party can’t help to decide the modalities for selection of candidates.
