A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Southwest chieftain, Buruji Kashamu yesterday vowed to take ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo to court for presenting his autobiography, My Watch, in Lagos yesterday despite a court injunction.

Kashamu obtained an ex parte order restraining Obasanjo from presenting the book but the former President went ahead with the presentation.

In a statement yesterday, Kashamu said: "I have asked my lawyers to press criminal contempt charges against him (Obasanjo) and all those who assisted him in flouting the court's orders.

"I will ensure that they are all sued and particularly, Obasanjo.

"Everybody knows that good governance is based on the rule of law, due process and respect for constituted authorities.

"It beats my imagination that this man can be sermonising 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 Umaru Yar'Adua, and others he criticised 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."
