Ahead of the 2019 general election, former President,
Olusegun Obasanjo, has said both the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and
the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, need fresh ideas to promote
democracy in the country.
The ex-President said this when he received PDP national
chairmanship aspirants, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi, at his Presidential
Library, in Abeokuta on Saturday.
Obasanjo maintained that he was no longer interested in
partisan politics in the country.
He said, “I have also said that the two parties that are
there, the one in government and the one in opposition are both wobbling
parties.
“I still believe that the two wobbling parties can still be
made strong. They can.
“That has happened in some other countries like Germany,
where a party runs the affairs of the county for decades, but of course, that
is not the history in our own case.
“If we are just saying PDP has a crisis, which is self-made
and that the Supreme Court had resolved the crisis for us, we are just
deceiving ourselves.
“The Supreme Court has taken a right decision as an apex
court should, but as a party, only that cannot help you to do it all.
“I had four PDP chairmen under me in eight years. So, I know
what it takes to have a good or bad chairman for a party,’’ said the
ex-President.
