Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday publicly tore his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) membership card at his Abeokuta home, saying he no longer belongs to any party. He said he was not preparing to join any other party and would wish to remain an elder statesman.

Obasanjo has been embroiled in a face-off with President Goodluck Jonathan. On Saturday, he accused the president of attempting to plunge the country into crisis.

�President Jonathan has a grand plan to ensure that he wins the election by hook or crook and if he loses, he scuttles it and brings chaos and confusion in the whole country,” he had said. �He is trying to play Gbagbo, who postponed election in his country until he saw that he would win. When election finally held, it was inconclusive and he refused to hand over after losing the run-off.”
