Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday reiterated that he can never go back to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Obasanjo made the assertion while speaking to journalists in Jalingo, Taraba, during the assessment of some projects initiated by his administration in the state.
The former President dramatically terminated his membership of PDP in February last year, tearing his membership card in public.
Speaking on the lingering crisis in the party which now has two national chairmen, Obasanjo said he had already bade PDP good night and cannot return to say good evening.
“In the part of the country where I come from, there is a saying that you cannot say ‘good night’ and come back to say ‘good evening’ in the same place.
“So for me, it is good night for the Peoples Democratic Party and that’s all,” he said.
He expressed confidence that President Muhammadu Buhari will surmount the present challenges confronting the country.
“So far Buhari has not disappointed us. I trust him, he will not fail Nigerians. I know he will overcome the challenges the country is currently facing,” the ex-President added.
He also urged the President to complete the hydroelectric project on the Mambilla Plateau in Taraba.
