(2015 ELECTION) Forget 2015 Presidential Election, Olusegun Obasanjo Told President Goodluck Jonathan.

**this is one of the conditions for resolving the crisis in the ruling party.
**the governors have resolved to let go of their grievances only if Bamanga is removed and Jonathan drops his 2015 ambition.
The confusion in the PDP as a result of the formation of the rebel faction of PDP’ on August 31, has lingered for two weeks now, with no solution in sight.
The Obasanjo's lead elders committee said that they have told President Jonathan the condition for peace in PDP is for him to drop his ambition in 2015 and sack Bamanga Tukur as PDP chairman.

“The governors have resolved to let go of their grievances only if Bamanga is removed and Jonathan drops his 2015 ambition. The Obasanjo-led group of elders of the party presented this position to the president days before this meeting. However, we learnt the president rejected the idea.”
Our correspondent learnt that it was as a result of this position taken by the elders that loyalists of the president began to call Obasanjo names. The former President supported Jonathan’s 2011 election against all odds.

The former members of the PDP’s National Working Committee (NWC) told our reporter that many members of the party from the North were disappointed in President Jonathan because before the last election he had vowed not to contest 2015 in the next election.
He said, “Particularly those of us from the North who had earlier backed him for the presidency in 2011 are not happy. We had an understanding with him over the 2015 election, but his refusal to honour it and insistence to contest the election at all cost is part of what we are experiencing now. I think he should be honourable enough to tell those calling on him to dump that agreement that it will not help the PDP and our democracy.”
