The national leader of the All Progressives
Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has rejected the
praises showered on him by Ogun-East senator-
elect, Buruji Kashamu.
Kashamu, who is the Chairman of the Organisation
and Mobilisation Committee of the Peoples
Democratic Party in the South-West, had last
week, described Tinubu as his role model and the
architect of modern Nigeria.
However, Tinubu, in a statement by his media
adviser, Mr. Sunday Dare, described Kashamu as a
pretender.
The former governor of Lagos State said there was
no basis for comparison between himself and
Kashamu, adding that he felt insulted by the open
letter addressed to him by Kashamu.
He said, “The days of false adulation are gone in
Nigerian politics. Fake praise singers like Kashamu
will find that their particular craft is no longer in
vogue. During this election cycle, their practice has
dramatically turned from the way things are to how
things used to be.
“Politicians will no longer be able to change
direction and loyalties as if they were changing
clothes. Those in politics must know that
responsibility and accountability shall now follow
them. One can no longer walk both sides of the
street at the same time. In case Kashamu has not
noticed, the politics of principle defeated the
politics of posturing.”
Tinubu said it was ironic that Kashamu could praise
him after conspiring with other PDP leaders to
produce and broadcast a hate documentary against
him.
He said Kashamu’s actions and lifestyle showed
that President Goodluck Jonathan and the leader of
the PDP in Lagos, Chief Bode George, were his true
role models.
Tinubu said Kashamu, who was rude to elders like
former President Olusegun Obsanjo could not be
his political son
He said, “Kashamu may be prodigal but he is no
political son of Tinubu. Kashamu’s political lineage
tracks to people like Bode George and President
Jonathan. He should direct his encomiums to these
men who are his true role models. They need his
contrived affections more than Tinubu does.
“This same Kashamu rained insults on former
President Olusegun Obasanjo in a vicious
campaign of calumny. Kashamu’s party, the PDP,
sponsored defamatory documentaries full of lies
and innuendos against me, General Muhammadu
Buhari and other leaders of the APC.”
Tinubu urged Kashamu to turn himself to the United
States’ authorities over the accusations of drug
smuggling levelled against him, adding that only
then would he believe that he was a reformed
person.
The former governor said as a person of repute, he
could not be seen to be hobnobbing with people of
questionable character as this would affect his
reputation across the world.
“Please keep your peace until you make your trip
to the USA as a senator-elect. Upon your return we
can then have a conversation. We can then
proceed with your repudiation of the PDP with a
promise that you will stop corrupting and fouling
the political system.
“I am a patriotic, law abiding Nigerian and my
achievements make me world-renowned. I am a
global citizen that travels freely to the USA, the
United Kingdom and other nations. I associate with
individuals who seek democracy and good
governance for all. I do not spend time with
characters whose values are at variance with
societal expectations and laws governing a decent
society.”

The Jagaban Of Borgu Empire fears no one... Truly Asiwaju of Yoruba Land.

Good day Nairalanders...

My name is Jennifer and I reside in Owerri, Imo state.
I am a school certificate holder with little hope of tertiary education.
Someone advised me to open a Nairaland account and ask for help, so I'm new here.
With the assurance I was given, I promise to testify here, if I get my breakthrough from Nairaland.

Why I came writing this now is because I lost my job as a cleaner at one of First Bank branches in Owerri.
The area manager came to our branch 2 weeks ago and after a series of complaints about almost everything that day, I was relieved of my job.
It still beats my imagination why I was singled out to be sacked.
Why me?
Why just me?
I still can't bear it up till now, since I fend for myself.
The money I have with me is fast running out and I desperately need a job from a good samaritan reading this now.

Please, if anyone can help me get a good paying job or connect me with someone who can give me a good job, I will forever be grateful.

I know this is risky, but I need help desperately, hence, I am putting up my number for possible contact and help.
I am not a sex-worker please and I will never be one, I only need a decent job.
So please, I pray no one misunderstands my intentions.

May God almighty reward those who will run to my aid at this frustrating moment of my life, Amen!

My number is 08172982883.
God bless you.

Kashamu CHANGE

But i guess Kashimu was right to have said Tinubu is his role model because both are very corrupt,both have drug charges against them in the USA,both are leaders in their parties,both are shameless.

Tinubu has charges leveled against him in the USA ? how come he goes there and other countries that are allies of America frequently without hindrance and returning ? Get your fact right man.
