Those Discouraging Atiku From Taking Buhari To Court Are Evil- Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo Saturday chided those trying to discourage the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, from challenging the outcome of the last general election in court, saying, “If Buhari could go to court three times to seek justice, even without reasonable cause, any Nigerian who feels denied of justice must feel free to go to court.”

Obasanjo stated this in a congratulatory letter to the Osun State PDP governorship candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke, who was on Friday declared winner of the September 22, 2018 election in the state by the governorship election tribunal.

The former president said those insinuating that Atiku’s decision to challenge President Muhammadu Buhari’s victory at the presidential election tribunal was an invitation to violence were “evil minds” engaged in a deceptive tactic calculated to rationalise a plot to unleash turmoil on the country.
