Stop Misleading Electorate, Kashamu Warns Secondus

A factional governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Senator Buruji Kashamu, has urged the party’s National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, to desist from misleading the electorate, as the forthcoming elections are approaching.

Kashamu who was reacting to a letter written by Secondus and the party’s National Secretary, Senator Ibrahim Umaru Tsauri, to INEC, asking the electoral body to recognise Hon. Ladi Adebutu as the party’s governorship candidate, described the purported letter as “a tissue of lies, meant to blackmail INEC” and predicted that the ploy would fail.

Kashamu, who is the senator representing Ogun East at the National Assembly, in a letter dated February 4, 2019, entitled, “Re: Final List of Nominated Candidates in Ogun State,” addressed to the National Chairman and obtained by journalists in Abeokuta, yesterday, accused Secondus of twisting facts with a view to blackmailing INEC.

According to Kashamu, Secondus’ letter “drips with the usual lies and blackmail that you have always peddled to obfuscate obvious facts and issues that are glaringly in the public domain.”

He added, “Ordinarily, I would not have responded since the Commission is aware of the issues and has the benefit of sound legal advice from senior lawyers and experts. “However, since you are not tired of telling lies, I would also not be tired of telling the truth and exposing your lies to the whole world.”
