Kashamu in a statement , acussed Obasanjo of engaging in ‘ wicked campaign of calumny and blackmail is his perceived loss of political relevance in Ogun State and the South West’.
Kashamu said “he called me “a wanted habitual criminal…for whom extradition has been requested by the US Government…”
Ordinarily, I would not have responded to his latest cocktail of lies having sufficiently addressed the same issue in my response to his letter to the President only a few weeks ago. However, since he has shown that he is too embittered to be assuaged by that response, I am constrained to do another.
“First, it is now clear to all and sundry that why I have become the target of Obasanjo’s wicked campaign of calumny and blackmail is his perceived loss of political relevance in Ogun State and the South West.
“In his 18-page satanic letter to President Goodluck Jonathan, I was the other person – indeed the only one (after the President) – that he singled out for his venomous attack. But if the truth be told, I am not the architect of whatever political woes that he is suffering today. Like David, I am just a tool in the hands of the almighty Allah Subhana wa tala. I am too small to confront a Goliath like him but for the almighty Allah who is the supporter of the suppressed and oppressed.
“In his usual hypocritical manner, he talked about not being able to work with me because of his principles and decency. But the questions Nigerians should ask him are: where were these principles when he used me to fight Gbenga Daniel? Where was his self-righteousness when I took the party structure from Daniel and handed it to Obasanjo? Where was his decency when he brought Gen. Adetunji Olurin to me and asked that I should roll my structure behind his governorship ambition? Where was his morality when he introduced me to South West PDP leaders like Engr. Segun Oni, Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade (rtd) and a host of others?
“Where was his discipline when he hosted me severally in his Hilltop mansion, taking me into his bedroom and innermost recesses? Where was his decency when he accepted donations from me to his church and other concerns? Where was his gumption when he mounted the rostrum to sing my praises, praying for me as he did in May 2010 during a reception for the former Minister of Commerce and Industry, Senator Jubril Martins-Kuye? I can go on and on!
“Let me state from the outset that contrary to Obasanjo’s claim, I am not the leader of the party in the South West. I am just one of the party’s foot soldiers in the zone and it is in that capacity that I am made the chairman of the Organisation and Mobilisation Committee for the party in the zone. It is indeed preposterous for anyone to call me the leader of the party in a zone that parades political juggernauts like Chief Olabode George, Alhaji Shuaibu Oyedokun, Senator Lekan Balogun, Senator Iyiola Omisore, Senator Teslim Folarin, Alhaji Yekeen Adeojo, Senator Clement Awoyelu, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, Senator Bode Olajumoke and a host of others. All these leaders know me and can attest to the fact that I defer to them even when we disagree a times.
“Now, on the issue of my so-called indictment in the United States, I wish to state for the umpteenth time that there is NO request for my extradition for any offence whatsoever. I recall that in my earlier response to him, I have challenged him to produce the request for extradition, if there is any. Indeed, contrary to his lies that I am wanted in the United States for some offences, the purported and over-flogged case is that of mistaken identity, for which I had been tried and discharged after my innocence was established by the British courts. I am already in court in the US asking that the earlier accusation (NOT CONVICTION) against me be quashed. That process is ongoing.

ReplyDeleteObj don suffer.anyway that is the result of his evil work nd wickedness.what is paining is that GEJ is nt trying at all .the country is mess as a retult of corruption
ReplyDeleteI tot age makes the wine taste better but in Obasanjo's case it is the reverse. Ask Abacha and Akitu who this man is if you really want to know him.Confussionist and a sadist all rolled in one. We now know was the intention of his letter to Mr. President was.
ReplyDeleteNa wa o, if this man wants to resign from politics, he should resign or retire with his dignity intact. Instead of fooling his old age. He is behaving like a child by the day, are u sure he is nt approaching his end.
ReplyDeleteGood to clear ones self otherwise people will keep on blabing without justification
ReplyDeletePple shld leave gudluk alone , dey crucified christ, wot has he dona to them. Talk of gudluk
ReplyDeleteThis drug baron should first go and clear his name in USA before talking rubish!!! If you know that you dont have a case to answer in USA take a week tour to any of US cities and get back to Naija first
ReplyDeleteExactly!!!
ReplyDeleteOloye Buruji Kashamu, instead of writing and wasting people's time should prove Baba wrong by just simply taking a short trip to the USA. He may even decide to hold a press briefing over there as an indication that he is indeed a free man and he really has no case to answer.
It's been more 2 months now and all he is still doing is talking and writing.
Oloye Buruji, please help Nigeria and shame Iblīs (i.e. Shaytān) by promptly going to the USA and clear your name before talking at all.
As we have said before, please if you indeed know that you don't have a case to answer in USA, kindly help GEJ by taking a week tour to any of US cities and get back to Naija first. I am sure Baba will gladly reimburse you with all the expenses you might incurred in the process of clearing your name.
Oloye Buruji Kashamu, the ball is now firmly in your court!!!!
Very funny comment
