It appears that former President Olusegun Obasanjo has tilted to the All Progressive Congress party (APC)… or so the party thinks.

The Deputy National Chairman (North) of the APC, Lawal Shuaibu, during an interview with reporters in Abuja on Sunday gave three reasons why the party believes Obasanjo has sympathy for them.

1. He desires for positive change in 2015 and so does the APC

2. We don’t have any connection with Obasanjo other than Obasanjo sympathises with anybody that could effect change in this country.

3. More often than not, some people go to seek his advice both from PDP, APC and other parties. But he is interested in the type of change we are driving on, so he is to a certain extent sympathetic to APC.

He noted that “He is not a member of our party mind you, he is still a Peoples Democratic Party man but for the fact that he is a former democratic President in this country people listen to him.”

And concluded saying that there was nothing wrong with the APC receiving members of the PDP who had realized their mistakes.
