Expel OBJ, Niger Delta Youths Tell PDP

Barely 24 hours after the
federal commissioner for Information and South South leader, Chief  Edwin Clark called for expulsion of ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), youths of the Niger Delta have backed Clarks’ call.
The youths, who spoke under the umbrella of Niger Delta Youth Coalition (NDYC), said the need to expel Obasanjo from the party had become long overdue.
National Co-ordinator of NDYC, Prince Emmanuel Ogba, expressed regret at the self opposition mounted by the ex-president to the success of the party inspite of what he called the fact that he is the most benefactor of PDP in Nigeria.
“I wonder what OBJ could have been today without PDP, considering his past prison life”, he said, noting  that “Obasanjo is desperate to pull down both Jonathan’s administration and the fortunes of PDP in the forth –coming general election”.
Ogba noted that OBJ’s hatred for the person of Jonathan began when he (OBJ) realised that the sitting president would not allow himself to be directed, commanded and or pulled by the nose by Obasanjo in the affairs of the country.
The group referred to the letter OBJ wrote to Jonathan casting aspersion on his person and his leadership style, and his regular attacks saying that they are aimed at pulling PDP down in the February elections.
He also called on the national leadership of PDP to deal with those members of the party who involve themselves in anti-party activities at this critical time PDP is going into elections.
