'IT'S A DISSERVICE TO THE PARTY AND COUNTRY' – PDP Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo (OBJ) has explained why he tore his People's Democratic Party (PDP) membership card publicly. The Ota farmer reportedly justified his action on the ground that he has lost confidence in the party and its policies. Speaking with newsmen on Monday, February 16, 2015, at his Hilltop, Abeokuta, Ogun residence, the former head of state reportedly said that his membership card had become a burden to him hence the decision to get rid of it. "I instructed that my PDP membership card be destroyed because it has become a burden to me. And I am no longer interested in anything that has to do with PDP." However, since the news of OBJ's action broke, the social media has been awash with pictures and reports of how he handed over the card to the party leader of Ward 11, Abeokuta North, Ogun state.
