Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo has described his former Special Assistant on Media & Publicity, Doyin Okupe, as ​a ​hypocrite.

Obasanjo said his former employee who recently described him as the leader of the Peoples Democratic Party in the South West, is apparently ignorant.

Okupe had said: “Baba Obasanjo still remains the undisputed and authentic leader of the PDP in the South-West. The fact that he tore his membership card is not tantamount to resignation from the party. An action he has not undertaken to date.”

“Tearing of the membership card though a very negative action is undoubtedly a knee-jerk reaction to certain unacceptable or intolerable happenings within the party which can and will be redressed.”

The former president however, revealed to Premium Times on Tuesday, that he is indeed done with politics.

Obasanjo said his decision to tear the registration is an indication that he wa​s no longer a member of the party.

“I was a national leader of the party for eight years, so, how would I now reduce myself to becoming its leader in the South West”.
