The
Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District, Senator Buruji
Kashamu, has described the alarm raised by former Ogun State Governor,
Otunba Gbenga Daniel, that he sponsored an alleged assassination attempt
on his life as a “hoax, spurious allegation without any basis in fact
and evidence whatsoever”.
A
statement issued by Kashamu’s Media Adviser, Austin Oniyokor, said, “It
is certain that OGD is hallucinating. He is the accuser, the
investigator, prosecutor and judge in his own case. Pray, why would
Senator Kashamu go after a man who is at the twilight of his political
career? By the grace of God, the Distinguished Senator Buruji Kashamu is
PDP’s highest political office holder in Ogun State despite the OGD’s
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?
“All
the good people of Ogun State know who is violent between Senator
Kashamu and OGD. Whereas all Nigerians know that Ogun State was under
the siege of violence and politically-motivated killings during OGD’s
reign as governor of Ogun State, Senator Kashamu fights his political
battles in the court of law and public opinion using his God-given
resources. He does not have any record of violence since he joined
partisan politics. OGD cannot boast of such Spartan record. The
intelligence and security agencies can attest to this fact.
“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. But, in
this case, because he is desperate to score 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.
In doing this, he has cheapishly assumed the role of the accuser,
investigator and prosecutor or judge in his own case. What a childish
way to play cheap politics! ”
