PDP excludes Kashamu from special convention

THE national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has excluded Senator Buruji Kashamu from the non-elective special convention slated to hold in Abuja on Saturday.

However, some of his loyalists were given different roles to play towards the success of the convention.

The name of Kashamu was conspicuously not listed on the list of National Reconciliation Committee; National Disciplinary Committee; National Convention Planning Committee and National Convention Planning Committee.

The decision to exclude the lawmaker representing Ogun East in the National Assembly might not be unconnected over his role during the crisis that rocked the party.

Loyalists of former governor of the State, Chief Gbenga Daniel and former Speaker of the House of Representives, Hon Dimeji Bankole, were nominated into various committees.

Meanwhile, the national secretariat of PDP has handed over materials for the ward and local government congresses of the party to the faction of the state chapter opposed to Kashamu headed by Hon Sikirulai Ogundele.
