PDP Convention: Delegates Chase Out Burujji, Olamide........ by zeekeyboy: 5:37pm On Dec 09, 2017
By Henry Umoru

ABUJA-THERE was a mild drama at the on- going 2017
Elective National Convention of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP when Senator Buruji Kashamu, Ogun East was
chased out of the Stand of his state.

Senator Kashamu who was clad in white kaftan, shinning
blue shoes and dark glass to match who arrived at the Ogun
state Stand, was welcomed with shouts of go away and to
respect himself, he left with his supporters.

To find refuge, the Senator went to the next stand which is
Ondo, but the delegates there also drove him away.
Senator Buruji Kashamu finally got accommodated by the
Osun State delegates where he sat in between the former
National Secretary of PDP, Professor Wale Oladipo and
Senator Felix Ogunwale.

Earlier in the day, there was a similar scenario at the Ekiti
Stand when delegates shouted at another delegate who was
already sited to stand up and leave the stand.

The Ekiti delegates who are apparently loyal to the governor,
Ayodele Fayose went to a serving member, Ekiti State House
of Assembly, Honourable Oni Olamide, Ijero/ Ekin / Efon
constituency who was already seated, tried to drag him out,
but he resisted it.

When the policemen tried to intervene, the delegates pushed
the policemen way, asking them to leave the police, just as
they shouted saying, ” anyone with uniform go away from
here, show us your tags if you are really policemen. ”
The policemen had no choice than to leave the place.
While the shouting was going on, a chairmanship aspirant,
Professor Tunde Adeniran and Senator Duro Faseyi, Ekiti
North were seated. Senator Biodun Olujimi who who is
apparently not in the good books of the governor came to
the scene, but could not calm the situation and she had to
leave the scene.

At the end of the day, all the Ekiti delegates left the stand,
leaving Olamide alone, but they later came back, but the
member, House of Assembly had left.
Speaking with Vanguard, Olamide said, ” they are asking me
to leave the stand because Iam not in good terms with the
governor of Ekiti State. They said that Iam not a
delegate,that is a big fallacy, Iam a delegate by virtue of my
position as a member of House of Assembly.”
Meanwhile, former Deputy National Chairman of PDP and a
strong contender for the position of National Chairaman,
Prince Uche Secondus in a carnival like nature is going
round to greet delegates at various stands as part of last
minute campaign.

He is being accompanied by all the delegates from Rivers
State.
Also going round with women for last minute campaign are
Abubakar Mustapha for the position of National Secretary;
Hajia Maryam Inna Ciroma for the position of Deputy
National Chairman, North; Chief Raymond Dokpesi for the
post of National Chairman, Abdullahi Hussaini Maibasira for
the position of National Financial Secretary; Kola
Olagbodinyan; Faruk Adejo and Ben Duntoye, all for the
position of National Publicity.
