The Afenifere Renaissance Youth Congress (ARYG) has asked former President Olusegun Obasanjo to formally declare for the All Progressives Congress (APC), instead of working to damage the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from within.
The group, comprising many members of the PDP in the South-West zone, also said Obasanjo’s attacks on President Jonathan, was unfortunate.
While noting that as a former president, he had unfettered access to the Presidential Villa, the group described his action as unstatesmanlike.
Lamenting the recent attack by Obasanjo on President Jonathan, the group leader, Mr. Abimbola Owolabi, said it was difficult to believe that Obasanjo was still a member of the PDP.
The group wondered why Obasanjo could not respect the provisions of the constitution of the party, especially the section that frowned at bringing the name of the party to disrepute.
Continuing it said, “Obasanjo is not only denigrating the presidency, the person of Jonathan and the ruling party, which he claims to be a member by his constant lies, unwarranted attacks and mischievous blackmail to portray President Jonathan as weak, corrupt and dictatorial, but also manifestly executing the propaganda of the APC.”
ARYG advised Jonathan not to be deterred but continue to work harder in fulfillment of the promises of his transformation agenda.
