Why I asked Kashamu to contest Senate seat —CLARK


Elder statesman and national leader of the Ijaw, Chief Edwin Clark yesterday revealed that he was one of those who asked Prince Buruji Kashamu to contest for the Ogun East senatorial seat on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Chief Clark, who disclosed this while addressing party leaders and faithful at the Goodluck Jonathan Political Centre, said he was buoyed by “Buruji’s commitment to justice and his love for the party and President Goodluck Jonathan,” adding that Kashamu is “a very intelligent person who has got the resources. He cannot be bought over by anyone.”

He said he asked him to go to the National Assembly so that he will be able to continue to defend the interest of the party at the upper chamber.

Clark recalled the role played by Prince Kashamu and others in stabilising the PDP for President Goodluck Jonathan when those he called “the Gang of 7 rose against the President.”

He said he was not surprised at the crowd that came to welcome him despite the a 24 hours notice because, according to him, he knows Kashamu’s capacity.

Responding, Prince Kashamu expressed his gratitude to Chief Clark for visiting Ogun State and Ijebu Igbo, in particular.
He said the Goodluck Jonathan Political Centre was not built as a commercial venture but a place for strategic political meetings and empowerment initiatives.

Kashamu informed the octogenarian that former Governor Gbenga Daniel sent his apologies for not being around to receive him as earlier planned owing to a situation that occurred yesterday morning and that he needed to personally attend to issues outside the state.

Chief Clark, who had been earlier received at the State PDP Secretariat in Abeokuta, by Aare Tunde Alabi, State Secretary, Alhaji Semi Sodipo and Dr. Yomi Majekodunmi, among other party stalwarts, paid homage to the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, alongside his wife, Dr. Abisola Sodipo-Clark, who is the PDP candidate for Ogun Central Senatorial District.

The royal father noted that Mrs Sodipo-Clark was a true daughter of Egbaland and that her father was a member of the House of Representatives in the First Republic, adding that she was qualified to represent Ogun Central at the red chamber.
He prayed for her and wished her well in her endeavours.

Among the dignitaries who received the elder statesman were the PDP governorship candidate, Prince Gboyega Nasir Isiaka; his deputy, Prince Tunde Makanjuola; State Chairman, Adebayo Dayo; party leaders, such as Chief Kola Ogunjobi, Alhaji Agboola Alausa, Otunba Adeleke Adedoyin, Chief Pegba Otemolu, Chief Fatai Ajibode, Elder Yemi Akinwonmi, Comrade Niyi Osoba and Mrs. Ibilola Solaja, among others.

See the arrogance. "I asked Kashamu to contest".

This same Kashamu is not in anyway a role model to hardworking Nigerians. He is even a wanted drug pusher by the USA. And this Clark still wants him to be a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Alamesiegha, a convicted thief, who disguised as a woman to escape authorities in the UK is also contesting as a senator under the PDP.

I hope everybody can see the image of Nigeria this loafers want to portray to the whole world.

With these kind of characters the PDP is pushing up, no one needs to look too much for the reasons the international community does not give any regard to the govt of the day.

They have portrayed Nigeria as a Banana republic where everything goes and there is no consequence for impunity.

PDP, a party of chop I chop according to their National chairman. This party has so much messed up democratic ideals especially under this administration. The only people that were able to contest for any post under it are those that were forced on the state chapter by the National.

If the PDP is allowed to get away with this, it will spell a grave danger for our democracy and breed a culture of dictatorial imposition of candidates. From the North to South, East and West the dust of their shabby primaries is yet to settle.

I even read that as many as 3 candidates are still actively campaigning for one particular senatorial seat under the PDP in Anambra state. Imagine such confusion.

PDP and confusion, cluelessness and ineptitude are synonymous.

We need to do away with them especially for now in order to lay a proper foundation built on honesty and integrity for a better Nigeria.

As Father Mbaka said "it shall be well, it shall be well, is it until you die?!"

GMB/PYO to the rescue!

#Ihavedecided

Edwin Clark too feels like an afobaje right?

Edwin Clark should have also GEJ not to contest na.

Edwin Clark you left your Ijaw land to anoint a candidate in another man`s land! You that did not see beyond your nose (cause of ill political advice govern to GEJ).

Sir Isaac Boro and other Fallen heroes of Ijaw must be weeping in heaven with your kind of leadership!

Nigeria is presently being run like a mafiadom where d godfather allocates positions to his loyalists not minding if they deserve it or not. What a role model Kashamu will make for d younger ones smh.

Is this | Clark of a man making Jonathan's campaign or marring it ?

A wanted man.

That is how most present day Nigeria politicians think. And such selfish politicians abound more in the PDP. They are in all parties but they somehow happen to be more in the PDP.

Ngwakwe, Ikenna351, Afam4eva, OAM4J, maclatunji, Seun, ishilove, Lalasticlala... This seem a good one for front page.
