Presidential election quagmire: Obasanjo gives reasons for silence

Olusegun Obasanjo, Former president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, says he is unable to express his views on the just-concluded presidential election because he does not want to go interfere in a matter before the Court.
Speaking on Tuesday in Abuja at the public presentation of a book entitled, ‘Election in Nigeria: The Long Road To Democracy’, written by Abdullahi Shehu, he said, “It would amount to sub judice if I speak on Presidential election result since the matter is already before the court”
“I will not dabble into the details of what I call current aspect of Professor Shehu’s book because since the emphasis was on the national elections, particularly the presidential election, and the presidential election is now taken to court.
“I think talking about it would become sub judice because it has been taken to court.”
