2019 Presidency: Fayose is a joker ―Buruji Kashamu

THE Senator representing Ogun East, Senator Buruji Kashamu (PDP OgunEast) tackled the Governor of Ekiti state, Ayo Fayose over his 2019 presidential ambition saying that the Governor was a joker.

The Senator, who spoke inside the National Assembly described Fayose as the number one destroyer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to Kashamu, Fayose was only showing Nigerians how unreliable he is and not bidding for any presidential position come 2019.

He said: “He is a confusionist and number one destroyer of the party because how on earth would somebody who agreed with other party chieftains that the presidential ticket of the party for 2019 should be zoned to the North, now turned around to start campaigning for the same ticket as a Southerner and particularly as a South westerner to the detriment of the National Chairmanship ticket of the party already zoned to the area.

“Lovers of our great party and politically minded Nigerians generally, should by this action of Fayose see him as the number one destroyer of the party and the most cantankerous politician in the polity who can at any time abuse anybody and go against agreed plans at any time.

“I believe that am not the only one disturbed by Fayose’s agbero brand of politics but all political stakeholders in the land including those who followed him from Ekiti to grace his campaign launch because everybody knows that he is going nowhere come 2019 but just exercising his right in a funny way as a joker,” he said .

The Senator also slammed the National Working Committee of the party under the leadership of Senator Ahmed Makarfi for issuing him query unreasonably.

Kashamu wondered why people accused him of instigating crisis in the Ogun State chapter of the party while he was in faraway Abuja.

He accused the National Caretaker Chairman of the party, Senator Ahmed Makarfi of wanting to corner the 2019 Presidential ticket of the party while surreptitiously moving to ease out those who feels can challenge him.

He said: “In fact, the December convention of the party may not hold due to Makarfi’s ambition.  He is a chameleon pretending to have the interest of the party at heart but secretly executing his own personal.
