PDP Reacts To Obasanjo's Endorsement Of Buhari

The Peoples’ Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation, PDPPCO, has reacted to former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s endorsement of the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) General Muhammadu Buhari (retd).

Speaking to newsmen in Abuja yesterday, February 11, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, the Director, Media and Publicity of the PDP presidential campaign organization said Obasanjo is entitled to his own opinion, Vanguard reports.

Obasanjo had during the launch of his book in Kenya, openly endorsed the APC presidential candidate, Buhari, despite being member of the PDP.

According to Fani-Kayode, it was unfortunate that Obasanjo would endorse Buhari, in spite of what he knows about him.

He however said they would all meet on the day of elections.

 

He said: “I have not seen what he said or read his text. He is entitled to his views. He is a leading member of our party and we have great respect for him. I believe it will be a very sad day indeed if from what he knows about Buhari, he still goes ahead to endorse him.

 

“This is about vote: about one man, one vote. But, we wish him well if he did so. We will meet them on the field.”

Obasanjo’s endorsement of Buhari has been trailed with a lot of reactions. Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State asked Nigerians to ignore Obasanjo’s declaration of support for Buhari, which he described as a political somersault and a suicidal mission.

In his reaction, Buhari said he was happy about the development.
