Daily Post reports that lamented that the party that was once in control of 30 states out of the 36 states in the country is now a shadow of itself.
He further explained that PDP met its end because of the ongoing internal war in the party.
Obasanjo said: “When all was going well, when Ahmadu Ali was the chairman of the party, we were 30 out of the 36 states.
“I brought Ahmadu Ali as the national leader of the party. But, when Ahmadu and I left, the fortune of the PDP sunk."
Obasanjo added that: “May the fortune of Nigeria never sink like that of the PDP."
