Fayose dragged Obasanjo over statement on dead Kashamu Buruji

Fayose has dragged Obasanjo over his statement on dead Buruji Kashamu.

OnyxNews Nigeria reported that Senator Buruji Kashamu died of coronavirus. Before his death, Buruji Kashamu was the immediate past senator representing Ogun East at the Nigerian Senate.

The 62 year old Buruji, who represented the senatorial district in the 8th National Assembly died on Saturday, August 8, 2020, at First Cardiology Consultants in Lagos, Nigeria.

Reacting to Kashamu’s death, former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo sent a message of condolences to Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun on the death of the Senator.

Obasanjo who described Kashamu’s death as a great loss in a letter on Saturday, however, lamented that “Kashamu in his lifetime used the manoeuvre of law and politics to escape from facing justice on alleged criminal offences in Nigeria and outside Nigeria.”

Reacting to Obasanjo’s statement, Ayodele Fayose, a former governor of Ekiti State, condemned Obasanjo’s statement, saying Nigerians are waiting for his end.

The former governor said it was unsavoury for former President Obasanjo to have made such comment when Kashamu could not defend himself.

Fayose wrote on Twitter: “I commiserate with the family of Senator Buruji Kashamu for this irreparable loss and pray for the repose of his soul. The Almighty God will console those he left behind.

“I also condemn the statement made by former President Obasanjo on his (Kashamu) death.

“Nigerians will watch out for Obasanjo’s own end. He should stop forming saint because he is not. He should also remember that his own end will come too and nobody knows how the end will be,” Fayose dragged Obasanjo over his statement on dead Buruji Kashamu.

I commiserate with the family of Senator Buruji Kashamu for this irreparable loss and pray for the repose of his soul. The Almighty God will console those he left behind.  

I also condemn the statement made by former President Obasanjo on his (Kashamu) death.
