There will
be commotion if Atiku visits Ogun State
— Buruji Kashamu.

| Senator Buruji Kashamu |
Kashamu,
on Thursday, said despite the controversy that surrounded his emergence as the
candidate of the party, he would win the election.
The
national secretariat of the PDP had picked Kashamu’s rival, Ladi Adebutu, as
the governorship candidate of the party in Ogun.
After
a prolonged legal battle, the Supreme Court on Monday ruled in favour of the
Adebayo Dayo-led state executive of the PDP in Ogun state.
Kashamu
emerged the governorship candidate through the faction.
Atiku
was to visit Ogun State as part of his nationwide campaign; but the plan was
cancelled.
“He (Atiku) decided not to visit Ogun State
because he wanted to avoid having any problem. You know the other guy, Ladi
Adebutu, is still parading himself as the governorship candidate. We all
believe his (Atiku’s) coming can cause chaos. We had written to the police and
the DSS to intervene so that there would be no problems. Atiku is a man of rule
of law and the national executive has not been following the rule of law, that
is why he declined coming to Ogun State.”
Kashamu,
while expressing a full confidence in the ability of the Independent National
Electoral Commission, said he believed the elections would be free and fair.
Otunba
Gbenga Daniel who is the Deputy Chairman of the Atiku Presidential Campaign
Organisation (South), on Thursday said the failure of the party’s presidential
candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to have a major campaign in Ogun State was
strategic.
Daniel
said this during a campaign tour of Ogun Central and East Senatorial districts.
He
said, “He (Atiku) has been to Ogun State a number of times. It is a thing of
strategy. I think we have done what we are supposed to do; everything is
rooting for Atiku and that is the most important.”
