Former President Obasanjo Reportedly Seeking Return To PDP

There are indications that Ex President, Olusegun Obasanjo, who publicly ripped his party’s membership card, is scheming to return to the party through the back door as his relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari dwindles.

The move, Pointblanknews learnt, was informed by the snub from President Muhammadu Buhari who, sources say have rebuffed every attempt by the multi billionaire farmer to be cozy with him.

Shortly after Buhari took office, Obasanjo had made the first move with the establishment of a think tank to study critical areas of the economy and make recommendations to guide Buhari.

The committee, which was established under the Centre for Human Security of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, studied five key areas – education, power, the economy, security and infrastructure.

Not only did Obasanjo presented the report to Buhari, he also positioned and presented Stephen Orosanye to the President as a possible candidate for the post of the Secretary to the Federation, SGF.

Spokesman Garba Shehu had, told reporters that the Vice Chairman of the committee and former Minister of Finance, Dr. Kalu Idika Kalu, presented volumes of the report to Buhari in Abuja.

He said former Nigerian High Commissioner to United Kingdom Dr. Christopher Kolade, who was head of the Power Committee, gave various stages of the proposed power sector development plan to include, short term, medium term and long term solutions.

It was however not clear if Buhari solicited the gesture, there are no signs the current president is taking any of Obasanjo’s proposal seriously.
