Obasanjo, to the surprise of PDP members and journalists, showed up at the Yar’Adua Centre venue of the party’s Convention Committee inauguration. It was not clear what exactly took the former statesman to the venue as he refused to field questions but sources say the former leader, who led the charge against his former party during the 2015 Presidential elections, is miffed by the inability of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), which he lent moral support during the elections, to control the worsening economic situation in the country.
