Sacked Ogun State Peoples Democratic Party Chairman, Bayo Dayo is a scammer,says Kashamu

The controversial leader of Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) Ogun State Chapter, Buruji Kashamu has described the sacked party Chairman, Engr Bayo Dayo, as a scammer, who also betrayed  the party

Penpushing reports that, Kashamu stated this in a press statement in support of the removal of Dayo, by the State Executive Council of the party, alleging that, the embattled former chairman also attempted to sell the party to Ladi Adebutu, a former Governorship aspirant of the party, through his(Ladi) father Kessington Adebutu.

The statement added that Kashamu  declared that there were evidences of the meeting at Equity Hotel, Ijebu Ode, where Dayo collected money to sell the Ogun State structures of the party  to Kessington Adebutu in the sum of N100million.

‘What the Adebutus should realize is that they have been scammed, as Dayo has no power to transfer the structures of the Party to anyone. Engineer Adebayo Dayo vainly tries to impress on his paymasters, by his press conference, posts and comments, that he is in control of the Ogun State PDP Executive Committee, in order to receive the rest of the payment promised him for betraying his colleagues in the Ogun State PDP Executive Committee and his leaders in the state;,Kashamu wrote.

‘Let the paymasters know that their pieces of silver for this betrayal (just like those paid to Judas Iscariot) are wasted. They have only bought their defeat again. This illegal transaction shows the low mentality of Dayo. Otherwise, how can anyone think that he can sell a political structure comprising many interests, major stakeholders for a mere 100 million naira?

‘No one is against the reconciliation of any aggrieved members but the question members of the Party continue to ask is: how Dayo could claim that he was trying to reconcile anyone when he did not have any meeting with any stakeholder or any of the Party Executive Committees at LGA or ward level and carried nobody in the State Executive Committee along before signing his contract with the Adebutus’.

‘ What is more intriguing is: how would someone who calls himself PDP Chairman want to sell the party to people who still have a binding and subsisting three-year agreement with the Allied People’s Movement (APM) in Ogun State. The agreement, which was publicly announced on the 7th of March, 2019. They have just done a year and the agreement will lapse in 2022. These elements have neither repudiated the agreement nor have they formally returned to the PDP’.

‘The party structure, which he has betrayed, is the same one that has sustained him as party leader in the state for the last 10 years, first as Ogun East Senatorial District Chairman for two years and then as State Chairman for 8 years’.

‘He never personally paid any fees to the law firm that sustained him through the various litigations during those years and now two weeks before the expiration of his tenure he no longer wants the law firm. Having sustained him in office as Chairman for eight years, I did not need to bribe him with any amount to sign any document; his claim of being offered N10 million is meant to hype himself before his new paymasters’.

‘The Ward, Local Government and State Congresses were successfully held and concluded. Dayo himself wrote to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) confirming that the congresses were successfully held. And there are acknowledged correspondences to that effect. So, what is he talking about?’

‘Eight years ago when Dayo became State Chairman, he only had one uncompleted building in Ijebu Igbo. Today, through the position of State Chairman, God has blessed him with about 6 houses in Ogun State and Ibadan with about six vehicles and many plots of land’.

‘Dayo has proven time and again that his greed can never be satisfied. He used the chairmanship position to enrich himself and his family. In 2015, he embezzled about N50 million campaign funds, just as he got  a plot of land in Abuja as Chairman of the PDP in Ogun State which he sold for N25 million’.

‘He was meant to share the money with other Exco members and leaders. But, he didn’t. He pocketed everything. Still in 2015, he misappropriated over N100 million; N50 million realized from the sale of nomination forms and another N50 million of campaign funds’.

‘Of the millions realized from the sale of nomination forms sold ahead of the 2019 election, about N60 million was misappropriated without recourse to the leaders, elders and other stakeholders’.

‘ During the 2019 election, I personally paid him N40 million to be shared between him and the erstwhile State Secretary, Alhaji Semiu Sodipo. He took N25 million and gave N15 million to Sodipo.  Another sum of N34 million was facilitated for him through a kinsman, Mr. Teslim Giwa. He collected over N10 million from me for the just concluded Ward, Local Government and State Congresses in Ogun State without giving the delegates any money’.

‘ For the past eight years, he got between N5 million and N10million monthly for the running of his office and the Party Secretariat where he inflated staff salaries and paid ghost or non-existent workers. These are a few of the many deals he struck while he held sway as the State PDP Chairman and yet his greedy nature won’t leave him’.

‘His son, who started his working life with me 10 years ago, is now a multi-millionaire with mansions in Ibadan and Ijebu, many plots of land, a farm and Petrol filling station in Ibadan.

Yet, Dayo thinks he can now sell everyone in Ogun PDP to the Adebutus. He is the greatest betrayer of all time. No right thinking person should have anything to do with him’.

‘I wish to urge all members of the Party in Ogun State to be peaceful and calm, as Dayo has no hope of victory in his dastardly endeavour. Members should be confident that the future of the Party in Ogun State is bright and all will be well.
