Buruji Kashamu Launches Own Book, Blasts Obasanjo’s ‘my Watch’ Autobiography by pendy79: 10:08pm On Dec 29, 2014
Chairman, Organisation and Mobilisation Committee of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, South West, Prince Buruji Kashamu, has presented a book to counter the autobiography written by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Obasanjo, in his three volume autobiography titled “My watch”, lambasted President Goodluck Jonathan, his government and style of leadership.

In his own book entitled ‘No Enemies To Fight, Goodluck Jonathan On The Marble’ which contained Jonathan’s quotable quotes since 2011 till May 1, 2013 was yesterday presented to the public at Ijebu-Igbo in Ijebu-North local government area of Ogun State.





The 171 page book was jointly edited by a Special Adviser to the President on Research, Documentation and Strategy, Oronto Douglas and Akpodigha Filatei, with twelve chapters and was published in 2013.

Kashamu had obtained an injunction from the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on December 7, restraining Obasanjo from launching his book, but the former President on December 9 went ahead to launch the book.

The judge, who again ruled that Obasanjo’s book be confiscated, also gave the former president 21 days to provide sufficient reason why he should not be ‘punished’ for contempt of court. Obasanjo has since appealed the decision.

Kashamu, while speaking at the presentation of his book, said the motive and timing of ‘My Watch’ are suspicious, pointing out that Obasanjo aimed at rubbishing the achievements of President Jonathan.

Nigerians and the sophisticated people of the South-West are not deceived. They can see through the smokescreen of the ex-president’s book and take informed decisions.

“On a personal note, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo said he wrote in his book that it leaves much to be desired for the PDP and the President to associate with somebody that has been indicted in the United States.

“I say it again that it is not in his place to say such. It is deceitful and hypocritical for him to be blowing hot and cold at the same time.

“It was under his administration in 2000/2001 that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency represented the federal government and testified in the name case in London that I do not have any association with drug trafficking.

“I was tried in the United Kingdom on the basis of the same allegation by the United States, discharged and acquitted when the British court found that it was a case of mistaken identity.

“Contrary to their evil wish, I will not forfeit my right under the law and play to the gallery in order to please my political opponents. If the Nigerian and Beninoise governments were adequately represented in the case, what then is the hullabaloo about?

“When I was working with Chief Obasanjo and was using me to further his political interest, I was a good person. He did not see anything wrong with a former president, self-acclaimed leader of the party and then chairman of the Board of Trustees hobnobbing with an ‘indicted person’.

“He calls me anytime he wants. Now that I am performing my patriotic duty of supporting the government produced by my party, contrary to his wish, all hell is let loose,” Kashamu added

The PDP is indeed full of clowns and jesters.
From OBJ to Kashamu to GEJ himself.

lest I forget, The US ambassador has honoured Kashamu for his service to entrenchment of democrazy in Nigeria, they are waiting for him to come collect the award in Washington, All expenses paid trip, accommodation inclusive.

Kashamu should just shame the devil and his enemies and enter the USA like Tinubu does

The kind of people in the inner circle of GEJ clearly shows why this country is where it is.

From kashamu- drug fugitive/dealer
Ifeanyi ubah - 419/oil fraudster
ahmadu Alli - Father of a fuel subsidy scammer
Mohammed Abacha- scion and hoarder of billions of Nigeria's commonwealth.
The list is endless and Nigerians need to vote wisely next year
