CHAIRMAN, Organisation and Mobilisation Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South west, Prince Buruji Kashamu yesterday berated former President Olusegun Obasanjo's new book 'My watch', saying it is full full of lies, blackmail and also lacks credibility.

He said Obasanjo's book was out to portray President Goodluck Jonathan's administration in a bad light adding that the former President "blames everybody else for everything but himself."

Addressing newsmen in Lagos, the PDP chieftain said "Obasanjo's open and mischievous criticism of the Jonathan administration, if anything, is drawing more sympathy for it, as one that is making a complete break with the past where impunity and lawlessness reigned. This is so because the issue is not so much about whether he claims are true or not, but because of who is making the claims and his manner of presentation.‎
The messenger lacks credibility and his message is heavily laced with bellicose, to say the least."
While he described Obasanjo's eight year administration as not profitable to Nigerians, he said "Chief Obasanjo's conduct in and out office does not support his claim of being a law abiding citizen.
It is on record that while in office as a democratically elected president, he disobeyed court judgements, even those of the supreme Court, with reckless abandon."

Speaking further, he said "Obasanjo's sole agenda is to be in charge of Nigeria till he dies. He has vowed to frustrate President Jonathan or any Nigerian leader who does not do his bidding and that is just what he is doing."
On the botched Third Term Agenda of the former President, he said "Chief Obasanjo said hour didn't say he was not aware of third term but that he was not the mastermind.
What does that mean? Living in self denial. Speaking from both sides of the mouth, blowing hot and cold. He was not the mastermind, he was aware, he claims. Yet he did nothing. But if it had sailed through, Chief Obasanjo would have been the ultimate beneficiary."
"The incontrovertible fact is that he was the mastermind and did so much to reign in or crush anyone who was opposed to it," he said.
He also appealed to leaders from the southwest to not to be deceived by Obasanjo's antics saying
"Obasanjo does not like Nigeria at all, for him to have written such a book. Let us be vigilant and not be deceived by Obasanjo. If we compare Obasanjo and Jonathan, you will see that there is a difference between the two of them."
