The Senator representing Ogun
East, Buruji Kashamu, has said he does not care if the former Governor of Ogun
state, Gbenga Daniel, exists.
Daniel had written to the
Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, alleging that Kashamu sent thugs to
assassinate him in his Abuja residence .
Kashamu has described the
allegations as a “hoax” and described Daniel as “the accuser, the investigator,
prosecutor and judge” in his case against him.
A statement released by the
Senator’s spokesman, Austin Oniyokor, read: “Pray, why would Senator Kashamu go
after a man who is at the twilight of his political career?”
“He is desperate to score a cheap
political point and seek relevance for his dimming political career, he has to
raise the false alarm and pin it on someone who does not even care if he
exists.
“By the grace of God, the
Distinguished Senator Buruji Kashamu is PDP’s highest political office holder
in Ogun state despite the OGD’s (Daniel) efforts to make him lose the election.
“So, why would he want to attack
a former governor who has lost political relevance six years after leaving
office? Is OGD the only former governor in Ogun state?”
The statement added that while
Ogun “was under the siege of violence and politically-motivated killings”
during OGD’s reign as governor, Kashamu “fights his political battles in the
court of law and public opinion using his God-given resources.”
It noted that Kashamu, “does not”
have any record of violence since he joined partisan politics – “a Spartan
record OGD cannot boast of.”
“Clearly, OGD is hallucinating
and afraid of his shadows. Otherwise, what would have been expected of sane
mind was to report the incident to the police and allow them to do their job of
investigating the incident,” it read.
“In doing this, he has assumed
the role of the accuser, investigator and prosecutor or judge in his own case.
What a childish way to play cheap politics!”
