The Labour Party in Ogun State said its attention has been drawn to a newspaper publication credited to Prince Buruji Kashamu where he called the former governor of Ogun State and its leader, Otunba Gbenga Daniel a political prostitute.
In a statement sent to DailyPost on Tuesday, the LP noted that while it supports President Goodluck Jonathan for re-election in 2015, it sees his associate, Kashamu, as a frustrated politician exploring all avenues to discredit Daniel out of fear, inferiority complex and ignorance.
The party recalled that prominent politicians like the governor-elect of Ekiti state, Mr Ayodeji Fayose recently visited Daniel at his Asoludero residence in Sagamu, where he was enjoined to return back to the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.
LP said it is also aware that a lot of political bigwigs in Ogun state, who are recognized national leaders are still talking to OGD for collaboration in their various platforms.
It therefore wondered why “a greenhorn and a political flirt, a businessman in politics whose sole interest is pecuniary gains could tarnish the good image of our leader.”
The statement signed by Mobolaji Odunuga, media aide to Ogun LP chairman, added: “We are not unaware that Buruji Kashamu receives contracts from APC government in Lagos and Ogun state to mention but a few.”
“As a matter of fact, the members of PDP and top echelon of PDP still doubt the sincerity of Buruji Kashamu to wanting PDP to win the next elections in Ogun state.
“For Austin Oniyokor, Media Aide to Kashamu to describe his principal, Prince Buruji Kashamu as an experience politician remains a boastful and an uninformed statement.
“For Prince Buruji Kashamu who has never stood for an elective position, talk less of winning one to be regarded as such is rather unfortunate. That Mr. Austin Oniyokor and his cohorts merely regard court purchased injunctions and judgments as political victory is ridiculous, ludicrous and laughable.”
Odunuga further advised Kashamu to watch his utterances, adding that fellows like him with no positive record of any kind should not be heard talking in a civilised country like Nigeria.
