Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo Explains Why His PDP Membership Card Was Torn Publicly

 Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has explained why his PDP membership card was publicly destroyed on Monday February 16th. 

 In a telephone interview with Premium Times, Chief Obasanjo said party members in his ward led by the ward Chairman, Mr Surajudeen Olajundoye paid him a visit that Monday to express their concern over his inactivity in the party, saying that his inaction has made them uncertain of their own political future in PDP. They also told him that they heard that the state party leadership was in the process of expelling him from the party. 

 "They were concerned that I had only one leg in the party, and worried that since I’m their leader in the ward, they need to hear from me. "You are our leader and it is you we are following. You have remained a card-carrying member of the the party. But since you became angry with the party we have lost sense of direction and now we are hearing that they want to expel you. If they expel you, where do we go? What do we do?” Mr. Obasanjo quoted the ward chairman as saying.

 Chief Obasanjo said after listening to them, he resolved that the party can not stand between him and his love for Nigeria.

 "In my response, I said when you people came you were singing a song and I agreed that Nigeria is our own. If the issue is the party, I will not choose the party at the detriment of Nigeria and I will fight for Nigeria even at the detriment of the party. 

 I will rather surrender my membership of the party so you people can move on politically. If you people’s worry is that I’m a card-carrying member of the party and I’m not showing you people direction and you are worried that I’m neither here nor there, this is the card; you can keep it, you can burn it or you can tear it, do whatever you want to do with it.”

According to him, it was the ward chairman that tore his membership card.

"I Didn't Know About Stella's Tummy Tuck Surgery That Killed Her' - Former President Olusegun Obasanjo Reveals

 Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed In his very controversial new autobiography titled, My Watch,  that he didn't know that his late wife, former First lady Stella Obasanjo had been planning to undergo a tummy tuck to mark her 60th birthday anniversary. A cosmetic surgery that later killed her.

 On page 240 in Volume two of his book, Obasanjo said it was after she had died on October 23rd 2005 in Spain that he found out what really killed her. Read what he wrote below....

"After the internment, I decided to look into the circumstances of her death. I found that part of her 60th birthday anniversary, which was unknown to me, was her operation for her tummy and her shape.”

 The former President said through the help of the Nigerian Embassy in Spain, he was able to get justice for his wife who according to him, died due to the cosmetic surgeon's carelessness.

 "I instructed that the doctor and the clinic be prosecuted. The lost life cannot be brought back but the successful prosecution would prevent carelessness and loss of life in the future".

 He said the doctor was made to pay damages which was collected by Olu, Stella's only child and the doctor's license withdrawn.

 He also addressed insinuations that he used his wife as a sacrifice for his success in office

"Before the verdict in Spain, I was unaware of what I came to hear later that I might have caused the death of my wife to sacrifice her for success in my job. That is how wicked and satanic some Nigerians can be in their rumors and mischief.” he said
