Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has received criticism from African Action Congress presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore for calling for the suspension of the ongoing tallying of presidential election results.
In a letter dated February 27, Obasanjo warned of “danger looming ahead” and urged President Muhammadu Buhari to persuade the Independent National Electoral Commission to postpone collating the results of the presidential election while it addressed the various issues raised by Nigerians regarding the election’s conduct.
In response to the letter of the ex-president, Sowore claimed on Twitter that Obasanjo orchestrated some of the most rigged elections while serving as presidentof Nigeria, do therefore he had no credibility in talking 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!”
