The PDP, through the Director of Media and Publicity of its Presidential Campaign Organization, Femi Fani-Kayode stated that it was unfortunate that Obasanjo had decided to support Buhari.
He said:
“I have not seen what he said or read his text. He is entitled to his views. He is a leading member of our party and we have great respect for him. I believe it will be a very sad day indeed if from what he knows about Buhari, he still goes ahead to endorse him,”

“This is about vote: about one man, one vote. But, we wish him well if he did so. We will meet them on the field,” Fani-Kayode said.
Obasanjo has often criticized PDP candidate and incumbent President, Goodluck Jonathan calling him selfish and callous and likening his administration to that of former dictator, Sani Abacha.
