Former Ogun State Governor,
Otunba Gbenga Daniel, has expressed gladness that he was able to forgive late
Buruji Kashamu, before he died.
It will be recalled that Daniel
and Kashamu were once at loggerheads with each other over the soul of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State.
In 2011, Kashamu aligned with
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo to ‘fight’ Daniel, ensuring that his
anointed candidates lost out in the party’s primary elections.
At the time, Obasanjo supported Chief Tunji Olurin, while Daniel, who was the incumbent governor of Ogun then, wanted Prince Gboyega Isiaka to succeed him.
With the PDP tickets eluding
them, Isiaka and other candidates loyal to Daniel defected to the Peoples Party
of Nigeria (PPN).
However, both the PDP and the PPN
lost the 2011 election to Senator Ibikunle Amosun of the defunct Action
Congress of Nigeria (ACN).
Things later fell apart between
Kashamu and former President Obasanjo.
Reacting to Kashamu’s death,
Daniel said he received with shock, the news of the death of Kasamu.
“I picked a Timeless lesson of
how transient life can be from this sad occurrence. I am glad despite all our
years of political disagreements, conflicts and turbulence, by the hands of
Providence my heart found a rare opportunity of forgiving and making up with
him before his untimely death,” Daniel said.
He prayed God his family the
fortitude to bear the loss.
