South West PDP set to sanction Kashamu, others

The South West chapter of the PDP yesterday said it will set up a disciplinary committee to sanction Senator Buruji Kashamu (PDP, Ogun East), over alleged anti-party affairs.

A communiqué read by the Zonal Chairman of the party, Dr. Eddy Olafeso, said the antiparty activities of some PDP members resulted to the loss of elections in Ondo, Ogun and Edo states.

The chairman urged the Ogun State chapter of the party, which is the primary constituency of Kashamu, to henceforth do away with anything that had to do with the embattled senator.

“The zonal leadership also hereby condemns and regrets the action and ignoble role of some of its membership that led to the unfortunate experience and trauma that held the entire party down for over a year now, and pray that may such never recur again in our great party.

“The entire South West leadership and stakeholders condemn the destabilizing and anti-party activities of Senator Buruji Kashamu and demand disciplinary actions against him for his roles in the losses of the party in Ogun, Ondo and Edo states,” he said.

The Chairman, PDP Governors Forum and governor of Ekiti State, speaking earlier, said the Supreme Court did justice to Nigeria and not PDP.

Fayose said the PDP was optimistic of regaining power by 2019.

“We need a president that is hale and hearty. Looking inwards, it is time to reposition PDP. It is time to take decisions; if you have problem and you did not nip it in the bud, the problem will continue,” he said.
