Buruji Kashamu political family teams up with Dapo Abiodun for second term ambition
A group leader of the late political juggernaut in Peoples Democratic Party(PDP),in Ogun State, Buruji Kashamu, Ola Kukoyi has moved members of the group to support the second term ambition of Governor Dapo Abiodun ahead of the Saturday Governorship and Assembly elections.
Penpushing reports that Chief Press Secretary to the Governor Kunle Somorin made this known in a statement on Sunday, adding that Kukoyi speaking at Itoko, Abeokuta South Local Government Area, of the state declared that the group with a strength running into thousands across the state was determined to ensure that Abiodun’s second term ambition became a reality.
The statement explained that the former Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) chieftain disclosed that after the death of their leader, Kashamu, they opted for a more presentable candidate in Jimi Lawal but was schemed out from the affairs of the party.
Penpushing further reports that Kukoyi was quoted saying that the group no longer saw a future with the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in the state with over 160 unresolved court cases, adding that they can all see for themselves that Governor Abiodun remained the best candidate that the state would need for continued prosperity.
The statement emphasized that the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) leader who also commended the Governor for embarking on the infrastructural development of the state, acknowledged his contributions towards the construction of an airport in the state.
“When our leader died, we decided we couldn’t be looking, we searched for a candidate that is presentable for the state, we picked Jimi Adebisi Lawal, we all know what is happening both from the national to the state level of PDP. The party is filled with legal matters, we have over 160 cases in court and that can’t take us anywhere, we’ve been out of government for over sixteen years now and we are all seeing the good things you’ve been doing”, he said
“We can all see that since the state was created, the plane has not landed here before, and just last week, we saw two planes landing here in Ogun State, well done sir. We now decided to stand behind a person who means well for our state and therefore, we decided that the Joshua of our time who will lead us to the Promised Land is Prince Dapo Abiodun,” Kukoyi submitted.
Penpushing also reports that in his response, Abiodun, while welcoming his endorsement by a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), noted that he would look out for their success, and assured them that they would be duly recognized and accepted by the All Progressives Congress in the state when they eventually defect, adding that they would not regret their decision.
The Governor while urging them to talk to their people on the need to come out and vote him for the continued prosperity of the state, noted that his second term would continue to ensure the development of the state.
Penpushing reports that Chairman of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Chief Yemi Sanusi, while welcoming the decision of the group to endorse Abiodun for a second term, urged them to go back to their various wards and local governments before their formal defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC)
