Ball is in Tukur’s court — Obasanjo

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday insisted that the national
chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur should address
the issues raised in his letter saying that entreaties to him to
reconsider his withdrawal from the party were wrongly based.
Obasanjo spoke following pleas from Tukur and allegedly
from President Goodluck Jonathan on him to reconsider his
withdrawal from the party.

Noting that he had raised issues and conditions for him to
involve himself in the affairs of the party, he said that the
national leadership should address those issues in its stead.
Among the conditions raised by Obasanjo in his fiery letter
was that Buruji should be brought down from his place of
prominence in the affairs of the party. Obasanjo had said that
he would not subject himself to the leadership of a suspect
fleeing from justice in the United States.

Obasanjo who spoke through his media aide, Mr. Tunde
Oladunjoye said: "President Obasanjo wrote a letter and in
that letter there were conditions, there were issues he raised
and he is a member and card carrying member of PDP but he
is not going to participate in activities of the party until the
issues he raised are addressed."

"So the question should not be to Obasanjo, your question
should be to the people who received the letter and to how
they are going to address the issues he raised."

"The letter said until certain issues are addressed. The letter is
very clear, "I am with you, I remain a member, but I will not
participate in your activities until you address the issues. The
question is has he addressed the issues?"
