Obasanjo tears PDP membership card, dumps party

Former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo has dumped the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stating that, he is no longer interested in the party.

He reportedly tore his PDP membership card but has not declared his interest to join any other party.
It would be recalled that Obasanjo is a founding member of the PDP and the first democratically elected president of the party. He was elected twice (1999 and 2003) on the platform of the PDP as president of Nigeria.
But the former Head of State has increasingly become frustrated by the tactics and style of President Goodluck Jonathan in handling insurgency, the economy and more recently over the postponement of the general elections.
