A retired General in the Nigerian Army, Prince Dr (Gen) Olu Bajowa, has tackled former President Olusegun Obasanjo over a statement he released on Saturday’s presidential election. Bajowa, in a statement made available to SaharaReporters on Tuesday, described Obasanjo’s statement as insincere and destructive to Nigerian unity. Obasanjo earlier alleged that the results of last Saturday’s presidential election had been doctored and manipulated.
Retired Army General, Bajowa Knocks Obasanjo Over Comment On Presidential Election, Says He’s Bias Towards Peter ObiBajowa, in a statement made available to SaharaReporters on Tuesday, described Obasanjo’s statement as insincere and destructive to Nigerian unity.
The ex-president, who called on President Muhammadu Buhari to demand a review of the results collation process, said this through a statement he personally signed on Monday. “As the saying goes: ‘He who must come to equity; must come with clean hands’. Hence, It is obvious that having endorsed a candidate, General Obasanjo’s hands are not clean in this instance, and he lacks the moral right to come to equity.
“For instance, the official release of results so far showed that President Buhari lost Katsina, Bola Tinubu lost Lagos, El-Rufai lost Kaduna, Ganduje lost Kano, Lalong lost Plateau. All these states are strongholds of the Ruling Political Party! How else can a process be free, fair, and transparent?
