Gbenga Daniel is irrelevant, afraid of shadows – Kashamu replies former Governor
Daniel had
written to the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, alleging that
Kashamu sent thugs to assassinate him in his Abuja residence.
Kashamu has
described the allegations as a “hoax” and described Daniel as “the accuser, the
investigator, prosecutor and judge” in his case against him.
A statement
released by the Senator’s spokesman, Austin Oniyokor, read: “Pray, why would
Senator Kashamu go after a man who is at the twilight of his political career?”
“He is
desperate to score a cheap political point and seek relevance for his dimming
political career, he has to raise the false alarm and pin it on someone who
does not even care if he exists.
“By the
grace of God, the Distinguished Senator Buruji Kashamu is PDP’s highest
political office holder in Ogun state despite the OGD’s (Daniel) efforts to
make him lose the election.
“So, why
would he want to attack a former governor who has lost political relevance six
years after leaving office? Is OGD the only former governor in Ogun state?”
The
statement added that while Ogun “was under the siege of violence and
politically-motivated killings” during OGD’s reign as governor, Kashamu “fights
his political battles in the court of law and public opinion using his
God-given resources.”
It noted
that Kashamu, “does not” have any record of violence since he joined partisan
politics – “a Spartan record OGD cannot boast of.”
“Clearly,
OGD is hallucinating and afraid of his shadows. Otherwise, what would have been
expected of sane mind was to report the incident to the police and allow them
to do their job of investigating the incident,” it read.
“In doing this, he has assumed the role of the
accuser, investigator and prosecutor or judge in his own case. What a childish
way to play cheap politics!”
