The Peoples Democratic Party, through its National Chairman, Ahmed Makarfi, had earlier approached Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to seek his return to the Party but the elder Statesman rejected the request.
In somewhat swift response, the PDP has said that it will not force former President Olusegun Obasanjo to return as its member.
It said it would respect the decision of the former President, but added that whether he returned or not, the party would not die.
Obasanjo had on Tuesday vowed never to return to the party, saying he would rather remain a statesman, working for the interest of the nation.
He spoke with journalists after he held a meeting with the National Caretaker Chairman of the party, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, behind closed doors at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta.
He had said, “I have told the chairman that I was in the PDP before but not now. God forbid, se when dog vomits, it will go back to eat its vomit, no.
