National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Adamu Muazu; Chairman, South West PDP integration
committee and Senate President, Senator David Mark and former governor of Ogun
State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel took turns to apologise to Olusegun Obasanjo, former
President and former Chairman, Board of Trustees of the ruling party, Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP yesterday.
According to Senator Mark, “…Daniel
is right that older persons are always right. All of us in the PDP are begging
Baba to forgive us even if he is annoyed with us. We truly apologise to him. He
should forgive us because he cannot throw us away; He will have to forgive us
and make sure we are not sheep without shepherd”.
Former governor Gbenga Daniel said:
“I have returned to my party. There is no situation where there are no
differences, these differences have been settled. If Labour Party is actually
strong in Ogun State, can it swallow PDP? It is the big fish that swallows the
small fish and today PDP has swallowed Labour Party. We have learnt our lesson.
Goodluck Jonathan has performed and this goodluck of our time must be
supported. We demand for a level playing field. What we are talking about is
automatic waiver and this issue of automatic waiver has been guaranteed. I
Otunba Gbenga Daniel, former governor of Ogun state for eight years is now back
to the PDP,”
Muazu reiterated, “I want to join
OGD, I want to join my dear senior brother and indeed all the teeming members
here to very sincerely apologise to our leader, to our baba, my baba, General
Olusegun Obasanjo to forgive us. We cannot continue. I know he has been very
prayerful. In the Villa, I know he used to pray every morning. Very early, 5:30
to 6am, he was praying. And I know he keeps on praying all the time. As we say
in our Lord’s Prayer:
“Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who trespass
against us”. Baba, you have to forgive us. I beg you in the name of the
almighty God, so that you too are forgiven. We are your children. We are making
mistakes, we have made mistakes, we have apologised, we will not agree even if
you want to throw the baby with the bath water, the baby will not go with you. ”So,
please baba, we apologise. Come and lead us. Even the president is waiting for
you. Come and lead us. You are our leader, we appreciate you, we thank you for
your leadership. We thank you for your courage. And we assure you that by the
grace of God, we are all good boys and girls. “
