The Senator representing Ogun
East Senatorial District, Buruji Kashamu, has told the Chairman, National
Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ahmed Makarfi, to
stop threatening him with expulsion from the party.
In a statement released on
Wednesday, Kashamu insisted that he has done nothing to warrant him being
expelled from the party.
He said: “Reference to comments
credited to you while inaugurating the caretaker committees for Osun and
Adamawa States where you accused me of fueling those who, in defence of their
infringed rights, instituted court cases in Ogun State against the party. I am
surprised that given your status and particularly the temporary nature of your
present position; you are compounding issues instead of being forthright to
solve the problems.
“If you refuse along with your
caretaker committee members to do justice by inviting the two sides of a
conflict to objectively analyse contending matters ostensibly to find mutually
acceptable solution, how can that become my fault?
“It is empirical truth that these
court judgments existed before your appointment as the Chairman of the
Caretaker Committee of our great party. Also, it is on record that the affected
party has written multiple letters to you explaining the facts of the case in
anticipation of your being equitable and just. These people have also been
writing to the police for necessary protection to prevent any negative decision
you might take that could result into anarchy and breakdown of law and order.
“Unfortunately, you chose to be
partisan and unfair to them by dissolving the validly constituted state
executive against subsisting judgments and constituted a one-sided caretaker
committee populated by 100 per cent of their adversaries – in favour of OGD.
“Mr. Chairman, you seem to be
asking and expecting from me that which I have no powers to do. Those you have
sidelined, though political allies of mine, are eminent political leaders and
important personalities in their own rights. They cannot easily be suppressed
and coerced into concurrence of obvious rights abuse without reactions.
“It is worse when it is an open
secret as we all know that all these manipulations in the mould of
reconciliation are meant to create loyal South West executive for your
presidential ambition.
“The threat of expelling me and
others perceived not to fall in line with executive created for your
presidential agenda has become topical in the party. If you unjustly expel us
from the party, you cannot expel us from the hearts of our people. Certainly,
you cannot also expel us from the courts as bonafide Nigerians and law abiding
citizens.”
