Obasanjo lacks credibility, says Sowore

The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has berated former President Olusegun Obasanjo over the latter’s call for the suspension of the ongoing collation of presidential election results.

Obasanjo had, in a letter dated February 27, raised the alarm over what he termed “danger looming ahead” and called on the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to prevail on the Independent National Electoral Commission to halt the process of collation of the presidential election results in order to address the various concerns raised by Nigerians over the conduct of the election.

In a reaction to the ex-president’s letter, Sowore, who took to his Twitter page, alleged that Obasanjo organised some of the most fraudulent elections as president of Nigeria and, therefore, had no credibility to talk about fraudulent elections.

The publisher of Sahara Reporters wrote, “Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has no credibility to talk about fraudulent elections. Ex-Pres Obasanjo organised some of the most fraudulent elections during his 8 year tenure as President of Nigeria. He laid the foundation for the shambolic elections that has become Nigeria’s lot now!”
