Obasanjo Inciting Nigerians Against Jonathan – Kashamu by chibecanglobal(m): 6:41pm On Nov 23, 2014 |
A fugitive leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the South- west, Buruji Kashamu, has accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of inciting Nigerians against President Goodluck Jonathan. Mr. Kashamu, who is wanted for drug-related offences in the United States, said Mr. Obasanjo’s statement that President Jonathan had performed below average was “self-serving, unjustifiable and totally unwarranted”. The former president had spoken last weekend in Abeokuta while addressing book writers as part of activities marking the Ake Arts and Book Festival. “I rate this current administration below average,” Mr. Obasanjo said in response to a question about Mr. Jonathan’s performance. The former president also said he deserved credit for helping an individual from a minority tribe become Nigeria’s President. “Rather than take blame for bringing Jonathan to power, I should be taking credit,” he added. However, Mr. Kashamu said, Sunday, that contrary to the former president’s claims, Mr. Jonathan has performed above average and deserves a second term in office. In a statement made available to journalists in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, Mr. Kashamu said it was ridiculous for the former President to publicly denigrate his successors to score political points. “If this is how he wants to regain his lost political relevance in the South West, then it would be counterproductive,” he said. “It is utterly nauseating how he catches on the slightest opportunity to publicly cast aspersion on the President Jonathan, with the intent of inciting the people against the President and swaying public opinion against him. “We thank God that since he turned his back on the PDP, the party has been repositioned and we have been winning elections fair and square,” he added. Mr. Kashamu said, “It is high time Obasanjo is reminded that he is not the only former leader in this country. If he is not content with tending to his chicken and farm, at his age and level, he should commit himself to courses that would outlive him. He should be told to shed off the implacably cantankerous image that he has cut for himself and take on a more enabling character trait.” The PDP chieftain said the Boko Haram insurgency being witnessed in Nigeria started under Mr. Obasanjo when the former leader allowed the introduction of ‘political sharia’ in some northern states. “Now, Boko Haram says it is fighting to have (the) country governed with the same Sharia criminal codes,” he said. Mr. Kashamu listed some of the achievements of President Jonathan to include Nigeria’s rise to become the largest economy in Africa, diversification of the economy, and improved power generation. He appealed to Northern leaders to support the president to end the Boko Haram insurgency. “Our respectable Northern brothers and sisters should know that the wave of insurgency in the North East is doing more harm than good to their long cherished values and common heritage, and the sooner they rally round to arrest it, the better it would be for them and indeed all Nigerians,” he said. www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/171762-obasanjo-inciting-nigerians-jonathan-kashamu.html 4 Likes |

That you OBJ within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, do commit an illegal act with intent to intimidate the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Jonathan as president. You thereby committed an offence contrary to section 37(1) and (2) of the criminal code Act LFN 2004 and punishable under the same section of the same act. |

Please just read this report below and tell me what you make out of the two the report by the op and the report below...... Buruji Kashamu: Ex-Senate President Ebute writes Obasanjo, calls him a hypocrite By Wale Odunsi on October 21, 2014 @dailypostngr Subcribe to Daily Post Newsletter image A former president of the Senate in the Third Republic, Senator Ameh Ebute, has written an open letter to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, accusing him of hypocrisy and insincerity. His memo followed Obasanjo’s reaction to the series of visits by chieftains of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in an attempt to resolve the crisis bedevilling the South West zonal chapter of the party. Ebute, who is now the pro- chancellor/chairman of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), said he was constrained to employ the medium of an open letter since most of the issues he intended to raise were already in the public domain. He added that Obasanjo’s subjects of anger against the ruling party as contained in the ex-president’s press statement appeared to be the “biggest self-indictment” ever written by a Nigerian leader. Obasanjo had last week made a veiled reference, among other issues, to the chairman of the PDP Mobilisation Committee in the South West, Buruji Kashamu, as an indicted drug baron wanted in the United States, saying that as such, he could not accept him (Kashamu) as a leader of the party in the zone where he hails from. Ebute in his reaction said, “With due respect Baba, this assertion of yours smacks of great hypocrisy and apparent insincerity. Even though you never mentioned the fellow you were referring to by name, it is common knowledge that the alleged drug baron is no other person than Prince Buruji Kashamu, a man with whom you had a very robust personal and political relationship up till 2011. “I wish to recall sir that when the former Governor of Ogun state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel seized the PDP structure from you in 2008/2009, it was this same ‘drug baron’ whom you aligned with to create parallel party structure and institute legal action against the party. “It was this same man who secured the court judgment that eventually got your faction of the PDP recognized by the National leadership ahead of the 2011 General elections”, Ebute said. He further revealed that the daughter of the ex-president, Senator Iyabo Obasanjo, had worked closely with Kashamu to protect and defend her father’s “sagging and diminishing political interest and relevance” in his “local turf” in the state, adding that, that was the period when Buruji’s frequent visit to Obasanjo’s Hilltop residence in Abeokuta was always greeted with celebrative feasting. Ebute consequently, asked Obasanjo what he was telling his “foreign friends” about Kashamu then. “While agreeing with you that these are indeed problems that ought to be firmly addressed by the leaders of our country, it is rather unfortunate that you had an unusual opportunity of making impacts in these areas for three years as a Military ruler and then eight years as a civilian President but you either forgot that posterity would call you to account as the longest serving leader this country has ever had or you simply neglected to ‘do the needful’ as you now advise others to do”, he said. http://dailypost.ng/2014/10/21/buruji-kashamu-ex-senate-president-ebute-writes-obasanjo-calls-hypocrite/ 4 Likes |
