A group within the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in the Southwest, South West For Good Governance (SWGG),
on Tuesday, threatened to embark on a massive rally to protest the suspension
of the lawmaker representing Ogun East Senatorial district at the National
Assembly, Senator Buruji Kashamu from the PDP.
The group said Kashamu’s
suspension from the PDP on the eve of the party’s national convention was
illegal.
The group in a statement issued
in Akure, the Ondo State capital, said, the suspension was against the
principles of Justice and fair hearing.
The statement, which was signed
by the group coordinator, Mr. Akintayo Johnson and Secretary, Mr. Muyiwa Bayo
noted that Kashamu was suspended without details to justify the suspension from
the party.
It said it would kick against the
impunity and maltreatment meted on Kashamu during the just conclusion national
convention of the party.
The group statement read: “we use
this medium to condemn in it entirety the Kangaroo suspension handed over to
Senator Buruji Kashamu over his insistence that a Yoruba man should occupy the
position of National Chairman of PDP as agreed within his party and his avowed
commitment to move against imposition within PDP.
“We do understand that due to
Senator Kashamu sincerity of purpose to call a spade a spade pitched him
against those who want to hijack the structure of PDP for their own selfish
interest and ambition without considering the interest of larger party and
south west in particular.
“Because Kashamu exposed and
stood against their plan to destroy the Yoruba race made them to seek for means
of sending him out of the party which Yoruba will resist by every power at our
disposal.”
They also condemned the role
played by the Ekiti and River state governor, Ayo Fayose and Nyesom Wike in the
last National Convention of the party
The group, however, called on the
new National chairman of the party, Uche Secondus, to reverse the “illegal and
obnoxious suspension” paced on Kashamu in order not to jeopardize the chances
of the party in the south west zone.
“We want the world to know that
we stand by Kashamu in his struggle to liberate the Yoruba race and his
development stride in our region.
“We wish to warn those whose
stock in trade is to rubbish out sons and daughters in the south west to stop
it henceforth in order not to incur the wrath of the Oduduwa.”
The National Caretaker Committee
(NCC) of the PDP had earlier suspended Senator Kashamu for a period of one
month.
