Kashamu, who is presently the Chairman of Mobilisation and Organisation Committee of the PDP in South-West, had in his suit, claimed that Obasanjo, ‘murdered’ his reputation via a letter he (Obasanjo), sent to both President Goodluck Jonathan and the immediate past National Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur.
Kashamu told the court that the defendant, maliciously and recklessly published a letter titled, “Before it is too late,” which he said contained distorted facts, Vanguard reports.
According to him, former president specifically referred to him in the said letter as a fugitive wanted in the United States, therefore the criminal imputation made against him by Obasanjo in his letter, greatly injured his public image and prayed the court to award in his favour, and against the ex-President, N20 billion for the damage suffered as a result of the allegation.
The defendant (Obasanjo), who had earlier resolved not to personally testify in the matter, however maintained that “The statement/words are correct, true and justified – The plaintiff has no iota of good reputation locally and internationally”, he added.
The Federal Capital Territory High Court, yesterday, adjourned till November 17.
Its getting interesting right?
