Buruji Kashamu, former senator
representing Ogun east, has dissociated himself from activities of some members
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who defected to the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in the state.
Over 1000 members of the
Kashamu-led fashion had dumped the PDP for the APC.
The defectors had said they took
the decision in a show of solidarity with Dapo Abiodun, governor of the state.
But in a statement by Austin
Oniyokor, Kashamu’s media adviser, the former senator said the defectors do not
have his blessings.
Kashamu said he has no problem
with anyone wishing to exercise his freedom of association but that it must be
done responsibly.
He said while it is true that he
has canvassed support for the Abiodun-led administration in the overall
interest of the state, such should not be misconstrued to mean that he has
defected to the APC or authorised any of his followers and associates to do so.
“I do not have any problem with
anyone or a group of people exercising their right to freedom of association
but such must be done responsibly and not with elements of lies, blackmail and
outright subterfuge,” the statement said.
“Kola Akinyemi and his
co-travellers should desist from dropping my name in their political
prostitution and voyage of anywhere ‘belle face’.
” I dissociate myself and my
genuine followers from this group of desperados. Their movement to the APC in
Ogun state does not have my blessings.
“It is true that politics is
dynamic. If there is going to be any political alignment or movement in the
future, it is going to be a collective decision with the buy-in of all
stakeholders.
“And it will be done openly, not
in the less than honourable manner that these characters have done theirs.”
The former senator urged all PDP
members to keep faith with the party and continue to work for its interest and
growth.
