Book Launch: Kashamu Vows to Press Contempt Charges Against Obasanjo

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader in Ogun State, Prince Buruji Kashamu, on Tuesday, said he would file contempt charges against former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, for going ahead to launch his controversial book.

The former president had, on Tuesday, against court restriction, held the public presentation of his memoir and autobiography, My Watch in Lagos.

Reacting to the development, Kashamu said the action by Chief Obasanjo, again, confirmed the former president’s “knack for lawlessness and arbitrariness.”

According to him, Obasanjo, by this act, had “shown that he does not have respect for the judiciary.

“I have asked my lawyers to press criminal contempt charges against him and all those who assisted him in flouting the orders of the court.

“I will ensure that they are all dragged before the court, and particularly, Obasanjo, without his cap, to show why he should not punished for criminal contempt.”
