Saying there is no love lost between Buruji Kashamu the Chairman, Organisation and Mobilization Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party in the South-West and former President Obasanjo,is like stating the obvious.
On Tuesday Kashamu said he will sue former President Olusegun Obasanjo for defying a court order not to make a public presentation of his autobiography, “My Watch” in Lagos.
Earlier, Kashamu had obtained a court injunction to stop Obasanjo from publishing the book because he believed the book criticized President Jonathan. According to Kashamu, Obasanjo’s disregard of the court injunction showed his flair for lawlessness. In a statement made available to Punch, Kashamu said, “I have asked my lawyers to press criminal contempt charges against him (Obasanjo) and all those who assisted him in flouting the orders of the court. “I will ensure that they are all dragged before the court, and particularly, Obasanjo, without his cap, to show why he should not be punished for criminal contempt
“Everybody knows that good governance is based on the rule of law, due process and respect for constituted authority. “It beats my imagination that this man can be sermonizing about good governance when he shamelessly advertises all the elements of bad governance. “In short, he is bad governance personified. He is the worst advertisement for the product he is trying to advertise –good governance. “He has shown that he does not have respect for the judiciary, and that he is above the law. “Certainly, President Goodluck Jonathan and his predecessor, the late President Umar Musa Yar’Adua, and others he criticized in the controversial book, which I am reliably informed he did not write, are made of a sterner stuff than him. They are true democrats and gentlemen to the core.
