Following the defeat of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, by the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, in the South West during the April elections, there are strong indications that some members of the party are rooting for the removal of former President Olusegun Obasanjo as the chairman, Board of Trustees, BoT, of the party.
It is alleged that his domineering posture in the South West politics, especially within the fold of the party where he disagreed with some party members led to the fall of the party with ACN capturing his own state, Ogun and Oyo, in addition to its holding sway in Lagos, Ekiti and Osun states with Labour Party, LP, having Ondo.
Also recall that the South West, last week, lost out in the political game of PDP zoning when the position of speakership the PDP zoned to the region was taken by Aminu Waziri Tambuwal from Sokoto State, North West, the same zone with Vice President Namadi Sambo who hails from Kaduna and the same zone with the acting national chairman of the PDP, Dr. Bello Haliru Mohammed, from Kebbi State.
Meanwhile, a former senatorial aspirant on the platform of PDP, Chief Adenigba Fadahunsi, yesterday, said that any plan to remove former President Olusegun Obasanjo as BoT chairman would fail.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja, Fadahunsi, who berated the moves by some party leaders in the Ssouth-West to instigate the removal of Obasanjo as the chairman of PDP BoT, vowed that committed members of PDP in the south-west zone would resist the move to save the PDP in the zone from being ridiculed.

Is it not a shameful thing to say the least, that a political never do well is boasting of salvaging an old political bloke that is speeding down to political lacunae.The wind is blowing furiously and not even the South-West elders can stop it.
