Letter to Britain: Count me out of alleged plot to rig 2023 polls — Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo Thursday denied being part of any alleged collusion to rig the 2023 general elections in Nigeria.

Obasanjo spoke through his Media Aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

According to him, “the former President is not responsible for the viral stories on some discredited platforms on the forthcoming general elections in Nigeria”.

Akinyemi in the statement titled: “Rigging Claim, Letter to Britain: Obasanjo Not Responsible – Aide,” stated that the “viral trending story on the alleged plan by the former President to collude with electoral body in the Presidential election of February 25 is completely false” and fabricated to smear the high reputation of the elder statesman. 

He said apart from the open letter dated January 1, 2023 and the one addressed to the renowned historians, Prof. Toyin Falola on his 70th birthday, there had been no other public or private letter written to anybody by the former President.

It should be recalled that since Obasanjo openly declared support and Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, some persons who are hell bent on entrenching consumption and embezzlement of public funds in the polity, have resorted to all forms of subterfuge to bring down the integrity of the former president.

There have also been other forms of campaigns of calumny aimed at tarnishing the international reputation garnered over the years by Obasanjo.
