Buruji Kashamu, senator representing Ogun east senatorial district, has called on the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to sanction Fayose for declaring his intention to contest the presidency in 2019.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday, Kashamu said it was the height of anti-party activities for Fayose to have gone against the decision to zone the presidency to the north.

He also said Fayose did not have the interest of the party and nation at heart, adding that he is only seeking the position for personal gains.

“Fayose seeks to further widen the ethnic divide in our country, cause resentment against our great party and tragically bring the party into disrepute.”

He urged the national leadership of the party, comprising of the national caretaker committee (NCC) and the national executive committee (NEC) to sanction Fayose for going against the party’s zoning arrangement.

“Although his so-called declaration is of no political consequence whatsoever, it is antithetical to the mood of the party and nation that someone who claims to be a party man could go against the decision of the party to zone the presidency to the north,” the statement read.

“By 2019, the south would have had the presidency for 14 of Nigeria’s 20 years democratic rule since 1999, with a southerner ruling for two terms back to back. It smacks of insensitivity and greed for anyone from the south to declare for the presidency so soon.

“With Fayose’s latest action, it is now glaring that all his grandstanding was meant to further his own selfish interest. He never had the interest of the party, the people and the nation at heart.

“This man is simply desperate for power. It is like since his anti-depressant drugs can no longer contain him, he is looking for every available means to perpetuate himself in office. Otherwise, how do we explain the fact that the chairman of the PDP governors’ forum would go against the decision of the party?

“Little wonder none of his governor-colleagues attended the event. No member of the party in the national assembly attended the ceremony.

“At first, he said he wanted to seek re-election to continue his first term which was truncated by impeachment in 2006. Thereafter, he began to work towards becoming the vice-president and now he says he wants to be the president!

“I am however glad that Nigerians are no fools. They know those who really have their interest at heart. They know the leaders with the demonstrable capacity to take Nigeria to the proverbial promised land; not the charlatans and looters who pretend to be leaders.

Your Opinion friend! but his Advocacy for World peace cannot be faulted! Thanks for reading and commenting SalamRushdie.

@Dr. Olufon, You should know by now that SalamRushdie as a critic , not Objective though, of PMB, usually extends his attitude to anyone who says anything that does not attack PMB.

SalamRushdie:
First and foremost I don't hate Buhari at all if not I wouldn't have voted for him in the last election , I only hate his style of leadership which can only take us backwards as a people ...now to Ur question I think you should as Buhari who Inherited a Nigerian Airways with 33 working planes , the most extensive functional rail network in Africa , a vibrant postal service then, 24 sepecatJaguars air superiority fighters, 18 Mig 21s, 24 Alpha jets, 29 L39 Albatross, 18 C 130s heavily lifters and 18 months down the line most were already gone down the drain via poor leadership that immediately put pressure on most sectors and they couldn't cope ..I believe UCH went down the same route

@ SalamRushdie, Buhari took over an economy under recession due to fall in global oil price and mismanagement by the Shagari administration. Buhari brought discipline to the nation and things were about picking up until IBB and his cohorts who were more interested in looting shoved him aside.
It was Babangida who crippled the Airforce after Squadron Leader Martin Luther alleged coup plot, C130 crash was under IBB, collapse of Nigeria Airways was also under IBB.

IBB instituted probes after probes to get something with which he can nail PMB but nothing came out.
So the person you should be asking is not PMB, but Babangida.

Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos on Wednesday inaugurated the state’s Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) and Forensic Centre to accelerate collection of evidence and improve its quality to quicken justice dispensation
The facility is located in CMS, central lagos.

Accordint to the governor, the center will provide a definite boost to the state's justice sector reform programme, and further transform the system of administration of justice in Lagos in particular and Nigeria as a whole.’’
The center, going by the governor, will soon be equipped with additional capacity in the areas of toxicology, trace evidence and controlled substance analysis, fingerprint and latent prints, firearms, ballistics and tool marks, digital forensics and questioned documents examination.

With this facility, cold cases such as the murder of Bola Ige can be re examined and culprits brought to justice.

No, we are not "blaming anybody but ourselves". We haven't done anything wrong to ask for a more workable arrangement for our kids. Moreover, that we agitate deosn't mean you are better off than us. We are all in this snake pit together. The only difference is that while we march and yell for a better tomorrow, you, being a willing product of a command and control society prefer to stand hand akimbo as your future is being wrecked by a bunch of eternally blundering political bimbos. This country is a mess not because one Nnamdi Kalu and his over dramatized "hate speech". but because of some tribal square pegs in round holes like buhari.. Yet Kanu is your enemy! Why? Why is the noise against oppression more disturbing to you than the oppression itself??

If, "you march and yell for a better tomorrow" in sincerity, why were you guys quiet under GEJ regime. He hoodwink you with a constitutional conference but refused to implement the report of the summit.
He refused/failed to locate a seaport in the East.
Refused/failed to designate your airport as international Airport.
Refused/failed to address the scourge of Erosion in the East.
Refused/failed to give the East another state.
Minister for Finance, Petroleum, Aviation, Labour, Secretary to FG all came from the East and they would not influence the govt to so something concrete for the Region.

Your Senators and House of Reps members even conspired to remove the funds meant for the 2nd Niger Bridge from 2017 Budget, and it took a south West minister, Raji Fashola to raise the alarm.

You are right in that you are "blaming anybody but ourselves", for the unfortunate state of affairs of the south East.
You guys need to wake up and state holding your leaders accountable.

"Whether we are conscious of or acknowledge it or not, the fact remains stubborn and indestructible that poverty, disease, social unrest, and instability, and all kinds of international conflicts, have their origins in the minds of men ... It is only when the minds of men have been properly and rigorously cultivated and garnished, that they can be safely entrusted with public affairs with a certainty and assuredness that they will make the best of their unique opportunity and assignment."

- Inaugural Address as Chancellor of the University of Ife (1967) Voice of Wisdom, 1981

In other words, do not entrust leadership position in the hands of people with minds that have not "been properly and rigorously cultivated and garnished,..."

Investigations by ALEDEH reveal that once an officer is recommended for promotion by Barr. Emmanuel to the IGP, he or she gets promoted.

The IGP does not have power to promote senior police officers, the Police Service Commission, headed by, former IGP, Okiro,is saddled with that responsibility going by our constitution.

I doubt you read the article else you won't have posted such dim statement.
I suggest you go back and read the whole article properly and hopefully you will amend your post.

They are welcome. Its only the guilty that are afraid. Innocent hearts fear no accusation.

South West people can't be used by politicians and looters who lost in the last election to ferment trouble.

We don wise pass that[b][/b]

Mature speak.
Hit the key spots.
Nigeria, once more showing leadership by proposing a possible way out of the Korean Peninsular Missile crisis
