HOW THE DRAMA WILL PLAY OUT ------ Senator-Elect and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, Chief Buruji Kashamu, has described the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, as his role model. In addition, Chief Buruji also congratulated Obasanjo and Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun. He promised Amosun that he would ensure that the nine PDP senators in the Ogun State House of Assembly give him maximum cooperation. Obasanjo no dey forgive and forget. This is how this drama will play out. The praise singing is a prelude to Senator-Elect Kashamu Buruji, making the most of the open transfer window for politicians, crossing over from the PDP to APC. Obasanjo, will stylishly tell Buhari and Tinubu to accept him with pomp and fanfare. When the new Senate is inaugurated, because Senator Buruji is now with the governing party, they will let him head ,lets say, Foreign Affairs Committee of the Senate. Meanwhile, Buhari has pledged to quickly normalize the frosty relationship that currently exist between Nigeria and the United States. To this end, Senator Buruji, as the Head, Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, will have to travel to the USA with whoever Buhari will be nominating to man the Foreign Affairs Ministry. Before, making that trip, Buhari will have hinted Obasanjo on those making that trip, OBJ on his part will simply reachout to Washington that someone on FBI and DEA most wanted list will be visiting the USA the next day. Meaning the visiting party to USA, will be short one on their return trip to Nigeria. grin grin grin

DailyAfricaGist:


LAGOS, Nigeria - A man indicted in America for allegedly smuggling heroin, in a court case that was the basis for the TV hit "Orange Is The New Black," has been elected a senator in Nigeria.

Buruji Kashamu was little known before he returned home in 2003 from Britain despite a U.S. extradition order to become a major financier of President Goodluck Jonathan's party.

Election results posted late Wednesday identify Kashamu as a senator-elect in southwest Ogun state. Opponents are challenging his victory in court, saying ballots were rigged.

Kashamu, 56, hung up the phone twice when the AP called for comment about the drug case on Thursday. Kashamu has said he is "a clean businessman" and that the 1998 indictment by a grand jury in the Northern District of Illinois for conspiracy to import and distribute heroin in the United States is a case of mistaken identity.

He has said Chicago prosecutors really want the dead brother he closely resembles.
A British court refused a U.S. extradition request in 2003 over uncertainty about Kashamu's identity. Chicago Judge Richard Posner thought otherwise when he refused a motion to dismiss Kashamu's case last year.

A dozen people were long ago tried and jailed in the case, including American Piper Kerman, whose memoir about her jail time became the Netflix hit "Orange Is The New Black." Kerman's book never identified Kashamu by name, but there is a West African drug kingpin whom she
calls "Alhaji," meaning one who has completed the haj or pilgrimage to Mecca.

A Nigerian federal court last year ordered Kashamu's extradition, an order upheld by an appeals court. But Nigeria's government has not extradited him.

That failure caused Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president, to warn that "drug barons ... will buy candidates, parties and eventually buy power or be in power themselves."

Jonathan's perceived protection of Kashamu was a factor that led Obasanjo to defect from the ruling party before recent elections to the opposition that won most votes in Ogun, the home state of Kashamu and Obasanjo.

Kashamu is suing Obasanjo for libel for stating that Kashamu is a fugitive from U.S. justice. He had won a court order halting publication of Obasanjo's autobiography but a judge this week rescinded it, saying Kashamu had misled the court.

Obasanjo's lawyer argued that the truth cannot be libel.

President-elect Muhammadu Buhari, a former military dictator who had people jailed for littering in the 1980s, has promised to fight corruption, has many politicians fearful in a country where corruption is endemic.

the game has just began.even with the so called catch am,catch am turned Kashamu Jonathan could not win Ogun state.truth is prison awaits him
Re: Man Indicted In US For Drug Deal Elected Senator In Nigeria by cjrane: 6:47pm On Apr 16, 2015
That is even better because at least it has not been proven if the names refer to the same individual.
Now, consider that a confirmed coup plotter that commited treasonable felony by toppling via violent means, a democratically elected government was elected President of Nigeria ?

tbaba1234:


Tinubu is not a fugitive and can go to America whenever he wants. Buruji is a fugitive. Big difference.

Yes, the big difference is that one is a comfirmed convict with a tag while the other is yet to appear in court either for acquital or conviction.
In Nigeria, anything goes...he has gone from being a senator > governor > political party leader > GUESS next. And some blind fanatics are here daring to cast the first stone at pdp.

Is there no such thing as a background check on whoever is running for office? I disagree on one of the comments above. In America, if it is known that someone who is running for office is into drugs or anything illegal, the people won't even find out if they were attempting to run for office because that person is no longer a legitimate candidate. He wouldn't stand a chance a no one would vote him in office.
