PDP must purge itself of ‘hypocrites and bad eggs’ – Obasanjo

Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has said that for the Peoples Democratic Party to bounce back, it must purge itself of hypocrites and bad eggs.

He also urged the leaders to shop for those he called “critical mass of committed people.”
Obasanjo said this on Sunday while receiving the PDP leaders from SouthWest led by the party’s National Vice Chairman (South West), Dr Eddy Olafeso, at his Pent-House Residence inside Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library , Oke – Mosan, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Obasanjo said the party needed to purge the party of “bad eggs and hypocrites”.

The former President said many leaders of the party are after their pockets and stomach, arguing that the bad eggs lacked commitment to return the party to its lost glory.

Obasanjo said Nigeria demands a vibrant voice and opposition in PDP with a view to building a virile democracy.

According to him , Nigeria cannot move forward , if we continue the way we are”.

He submitted that those set of people, “would be ready to stand with the party come rain, come shine.”

His words “I knew PDP would lose election in 2015 because it was clear. And I knew PDP will need to be rebuilt after losing the election.

“You need what I call critical mass of committed people, and come rain, come shine they are committed. With that, you can make Nigeria better.
