Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has said he has no interest in returning to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The former president said this after holding a meeting with the National Caretaker Chairman of the party, Senator Ahmed Makarfi in Abeokuta on Tuesday 17th October, 2017.

Obasanjo while speaking to journalists after the meeting said he preferred to remain as a statesman with Nigeria’s overall well-being as his major concern.

He said, “I have told the chairman that I was in the PDP before but not now. ‘God forbid, se when dog vomits, it will go back to eat its vomit, no.’

“I have said no partisan politics for me again, but Nigeria is my passion until death do us a part. And anything that concerns Nigeria, the good of Nigeria, you’ll see my involvement.

“So, the chairman has come to greet me and I greet am, and now that we have greeted ourselves, the chairman will be going, you gentlemen and ladies of the press, you can now go, leave the chairman alone.”
