Bode George's wife, others plot to abduct me, Kashamu alleges

The Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Prince Buruji Kashamu, has raised the alarm over a plot to either abduct or assassinate him.

In a statement issued today in Lagos, Kashamu said the plot, which involves some powerful politicians, is being coordinated by the Director-General of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Mrs Roli Bode-George, who is the wife of the former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a member of the party's Board of Trustees (BoT).

Kashamu alleged that the plot is to either have him abducted or attacked on the streets or at a social function.

He wondered why anyone would want to usurp legitimate authorities and resort to such crude tactics and self-help in a democratic Nigeria.

"I do not know what I have done to them that they want to do as if Nigeria is a Banana Republic. If anyone thinks he has a case against me, he should approach the courts and allow the rule of law to prevail.

"I wish to urge the masses and Nigerians in general to help me beseech the Almighty Allah who has been my help and shield to continue to protect and guide me from all manner of evil machinations. They should not kill me for my family and the thousands of Nigerians who depend on me for their daily living.

"Politics should not be a do-or-die affair. I will always say and stand by the truth in the interest of the masses. I will always rise above primordial sentiments and selfish interest in all my dealings, in and out of politics," Kashamu said.  

The Senator urged the State, his family members and associates to know those to hold responsible should anything untoward happen to him.

As Yoruba would say... Eni se oun ikoko nii kiyesi ehinkule... He who has done something hidden is always wary of his environment...
