Youths in the Peoples Democratic Party have told the party’s senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District, Buruji Kashamu, to be bold enough to declare openly for the All Progressives Congress and stop pretending to be a member of the PDP.
The youths, under the auspices of the PDP Youths Congress, said Kashamu was more of APC than the PDP.
They thus advised him to rather join the APC formally instead of going about masquerading as a PDP member while at the same defending the APC-led Federal Government.
In a release by its Convener, Oluwole Durojaiye, the PDPYC said it should be clear to all lovers of the PDP, especially in the South West, that Kashamu was an agent of the APC and was ready to do everything to destroy the PDP.
The PDPYC, which said Kashamu was already acting as the mouthpiece of the APC, noted that he will be a better replacement for Alhaji Lai Mohammed as the APC National Publicity Secretary, since he had taken over the job of defending every undemocratic act of the Federal Government even far better than the two presidential spokespersons.
They said it should interest genuine lovers of the PDP that Kashamu has spent over N100 million on media publications against fellow party members, while he has not published even a one-paragraph article against the APC-led Federal Government.
The PDP youths also alleged that over N2 billion must have been spent by the senator to procure court orders against the PDP.
Going down memory lane, the PDP youths said the problems that led to the party’s loss of power started from Senator Kashamu’s manipulation of the courts to remove Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Chief Bode Mustapha and Chief Segun Oni as the party’s National Secretary, National Auditor and National Vice Chairman (South West) respectively.
While he was doing all these then, the youths alleged, he was getting contracts from the Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun.
They said one of such contracts was the supply of vehicles to the Ogun State House of Assembly.
The PDP youths recalled that it was Kashamu who got the controversial court ruling that Oyinlola and Mustapha did not emerge as national officers of the party through the South West Zonal Congress.
They said it was from there the crisis that made the party to lose power in the 2015 general election started.
They said the question that should be asked Kashamu and his ilk was where was it written in the PDP constitution that national officers must emerge through zonal congresses.
The youths lamented that it was the same way Kashamu was used to destroy the PDP then, “thereby costing us the Presidency that he is being used by the duo of Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, and Minister of Transport, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi”.
