Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rushed to pay homage to former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abuja on Friday when it was learnt he was in the same venue where the party was holding the inauguration of its National Convention Committee.
According to Punch, the former President was at Yar’Adua Centre to attend a programme on Agriculture.
It was gathered that the PDP leaders were alerted of the presence of Obasanjo by an administrator in the building.
It was gathered that the leaders which included the National Chairman in charge of the National Caretaker Committee, Sen. Ahmed Makarfi; the Secretary of the committee, Sen. Ben Obi and a former Deputy President of the Senate, Ibrahim Mantu rushed out to greet him.
The former President merely greeted briefly and proceeded to attend the programme he came for, Punch reports.
Recall that the ex-president who was once the chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees, publicly tore his membership card as a result of internal issues in the party.
