Obasanjo Inciting Nigerians Against Jonathan – Kashamu by chibecanglobal(m): 6:41pm On Nov 23, 2014
A fugitive leader of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, in the South-
west, Buruji Kashamu, has accused
former President Olusegun Obasanjo
of inciting Nigerians against
President Goodluck Jonathan.
Mr. Kashamu, who is wanted for
drug-related offences in the United
States, said Mr. Obasanjo’s
statement that President Jonathan
had performed below average was
“self-serving, unjustifiable and
totally unwarranted”.
The former president had spoken
last weekend in Abeokuta while
addressing book writers as part of
activities marking the Ake Arts and
Book Festival.
“I rate this current administration
below average,” Mr. Obasanjo said in
response to a question about Mr.
Jonathan’s performance.
The former president also said he
deserved credit for helping an
individual from a minority tribe
become Nigeria’s President.
“Rather than take blame for bringing
Jonathan to power, I should be
taking credit,” he added.
However, Mr. Kashamu said, Sunday,
that contrary to the former
president’s claims, Mr. Jonathan has
performed above average and
deserves a second term in office.
In a statement made available to
journalists in Abeokuta, the Ogun
State capital, Mr. Kashamu said it
was ridiculous for the former
President to publicly denigrate his
successors to score political points.
“If this is how he wants to regain his
lost political relevance in the South
West, then it would be
counterproductive,” he said.
“It is utterly nauseating how he
catches on the slightest opportunity
to publicly cast aspersion on the
President Jonathan, with the intent
of inciting the people against the
President and swaying public
opinion against him.
“We thank God that since he turned
his back on the PDP, the party has
been repositioned and we have been
winning elections fair and square,”
he added.
Mr. Kashamu said, “It is high time
Obasanjo is reminded that he is not
the only former leader in this
country. If he is not content with
tending to his chicken and farm, at
his age and level, he should commit
himself to courses that would outlive
him. He should be told to shed off
the implacably cantankerous image
that he has cut for himself and take
on a more enabling character trait.”
The PDP chieftain said the Boko
Haram insurgency being witnessed
in Nigeria started under Mr.
Obasanjo when the former leader
allowed the introduction of ‘political
sharia’ in some northern states.
“Now, Boko Haram says it is fighting
to have (the) country governed with
the same Sharia criminal codes,” he
said.
Mr. Kashamu listed some of the
achievements of President Jonathan
to include Nigeria’s rise to become
the largest economy in Africa,
diversification of the economy, and
improved power generation.
He appealed to Northern leaders to
support the president to end the
Boko Haram insurgency.
“Our respectable Northern brothers
and sisters should know that the
wave of insurgency in the North East
is doing more harm than good to
their long cherished values and
common heritage, and the sooner
they rally round to arrest it, the
better it would be for them and
indeed all Nigerians,” he said.

That you OBJ within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, do commit an illegal act with intent to intimidate the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Jonathan as president.
You thereby committed an offence
contrary to section 37(1) and (2) of the
criminal code Act LFN 2004 and
punishable under the same section of
the same act.

Buruji Kashamu: Ex-Senate
President Ebute writes Obasanjo,
calls him a hypocrite
By Wale Odunsi on October 21,
2014 @dailypostngr

A former president of the Senate in
the Third Republic, Senator Ameh
Ebute, has written an open letter to
former President Olusegun Obasanjo,
accusing him of hypocrisy and
insincerity.
His memo followed Obasanjo’s
reaction to the series of visits by
chieftains of Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) in an attempt to resolve
the crisis bedevilling the South West
zonal chapter of the party.
Ebute, who is now the pro-
chancellor/chairman of National
Open University of Nigeria (NOUN),
said he was constrained to employ
the medium of an open letter since
most of the issues he intended to
raise were already in the public
domain.
He added that Obasanjo’s subjects
of anger against the ruling party as
contained in the ex-president’s
press statement appeared to be the
“biggest self-indictment” ever
written by a Nigerian leader.
Obasanjo had last week made a
veiled reference, among other issues,
to the chairman of the PDP
Mobilisation Committee in the South
West, Buruji Kashamu, as an
indicted drug baron wanted in the
United States, saying that as such,
he could not accept him (Kashamu)
as a leader of the party in the zone
where he hails from.
Ebute in his reaction said, “With due
respect Baba, this assertion of yours
smacks of great hypocrisy and
apparent insincerity. Even though
you never mentioned the fellow you
were referring to by name, it is
common knowledge that the alleged
drug baron is no other person than
Prince Buruji Kashamu, a man with
whom you had a very robust
personal and political relationship
up till 2011.
“I wish to recall sir that when the
former Governor of Ogun state,
Otunba Gbenga Daniel seized the
PDP structure from you in 2008/2009,
it was this same ‘drug baron’ whom
you aligned with to create parallel
party structure and institute legal
action against the party.
“It was this same man who secured
the court judgment that eventually
got your faction of the PDP
recognized by the National
leadership ahead of the 2011
General elections”, Ebute said.
He further revealed that the
daughter of the ex-president,
Senator Iyabo Obasanjo, had worked
closely with Kashamu to protect and
defend her father’s “sagging and
diminishing political interest and
relevance” in his “local turf” in the
state, adding that, that was the
period when Buruji’s frequent visit
to Obasanjo’s Hilltop residence in
Abeokuta was always greeted with
celebrative feasting.
Ebute consequently, asked Obasanjo
what he was telling his “foreign
friends” about Kashamu then.
“While agreeing with you that these
are indeed problems that ought to
be firmly addressed by the leaders of
our country, it is rather unfortunate
that you had an unusual opportunity
of making impacts in these areas for
three years as a Military ruler and
then eight years as a civilian
President but you either forgot that
posterity would call you to account
as the longest serving leader this
country has ever had or you simply
neglected to ‘do the needful’ as you
now advise others to do”, he said.

Alams and Kashamu are just two sides of thesame coin. One is a transgendered criminal and the avowed "political benefactor" of the president and the other a fleeing fugitive who would rather visit Afghanistan than US. They are both jailbirds without honour.
