Jonathan still in PDP, says party spokesman

From Ogundele Olanrewaju

The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Debo Ologunagba, said yesterday that Dr. Jonathan has not resigned his membership of the party contrary to speculations that he had switched camps to the APC.

Ologunagba, speaking on Channels Television, said as at yesterday, he was “not aware of his (Jonathan’s) resignation from the membership of the party (PDP).”

”I would assume it is safe to say that he is a member of the party. If events follow thereafter, we can speak to that.”

He maintained that the PDP would not respond to rumours about Jonathan’s defection as there were no facts to substantiate any such claim.

But Ologunagba also said: “Membership of the party is personal. Membership of the party is at the ward level.

”I can’t speak for him. I don’t speak for the former President.”
