The Chairman of ‘ Naija 4BAT” Otunba Abimbola Davis has lashed out at the former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo over his position on the last Saturday Presidential and National Assembly elections.
Otunba Davis in a statement in Ibadan on Tuesday, advised the former President to stop commenting on the electoral process in Nigeria, saying the former President is not credible enough to comment on electoral process in Nigeria.
Lamenting that Chief ” Obasanjo that should be seen as a statesman is partisan”, Otunba Davis maintained that there was no basis
for Chief Obasanjo to be instructing President Muhammadu Buhari and the INEC on what to do on the just concluded Presidential and National Assembly elections.
“Obasanjo that should be seen as a statesman is partisan, he adopted Peter Obi as his candidate and publicly campaigned for him, perhaps it could be very painful to lose your ward in such an election, which Obasanjo did”, he said.
The Naija 4BAT Chairman added, ” It is only when you know you’re losing that a politician makes such a statement. So, what is behind Baba’s statement? Was it that Obasanjo has gotten an intelligent report on what is going to happen?”
“ It is worthy of note that the President and his party (APC) lost in Kastina, Tinubu lost in Lagos state and another APC state which is Yobe was lost to the opposition and Gov. Ganduje also lost in Kano state and as a matter of fact lost Osun which is a Yoruba state, yet Tinubu and his team did not complain of rigging or call for cancellation. So what is behind Baba’s statement, who is calling chaos?”
The Chairman of ‘ Naija 4BAT” noted that the timing of ” when Obasanjo made the statement was quite terrible, because he’s actually inciting people against the system”, adding, “such statements shouldn’t have been made during election, especially when the elections are being counted”.
Otunba Davis pointed out that Chief Obasanjo “ought to have waited for the election to have come up and gone before making his own reaction and not inciting the President against the INEC and against the Public”, adding ” and we all know as a matter of fact that he hated Tinubu whom we believed he’s currently winning presently”.
“We all know that Obasanjo does not have any credibility when it comes to the electoral process in Nigeria. He who must come to equity must come with clean hands. He’s never a democrat; hence do not have that integrity to order the President and INEC on what to do, that’s an infringement because the court of law is there to adjudicate on any matter arising from an electoral process”.
