The Senator representing Ogun East senatorial district, Buruji Kashamu has defended President Muhammadu Buhari’s war against corruption saying only corrupt people need to be afraid of the present administration.

Kashamu whose election was affirmed by the Appeal court in Ibadan last week said only PMB has the will and integrity to wage war against corruption.

Kashamu made this assertion at Ijebu Igbo, Ijebu North local government area of Ogun State, at the weekend during a victory reception organized for him after his victory at the appellate court.

According to the Senator, PMB has the track record to confront corruption adding that his War Against Corruption, WAI, initiative as a military head of state in the 80s brought sanity to the country.

He further stated that the current revelation of how billions were taken away from the treasury is a testimony to the level of corruption in the land that must be stopped at all cost for Nigeria not to collapse.

Senator Kashamu noted the current war against official graft will also serve as warning to new ministers to sit tight.

“If we really want the government to have the money in order for them to be able to put in place infrastructure, to develop the country, the only way is to clear all the problems of corruption. And if they are to do that there is no way the president would not step on toes of many people.

“And who are the people? They are the people who believe that what belong to all of us must be their own.”

He enjoined Nigerians not to politicize the anti corruption war saying though he is a PDP member, he cannot be blinded by sentiment.

“President Buhari is not a president of APC. He is the president of PDP, President of the masses and president of the whole Nigeria.”

“So, if we Nigerians want change and progress, we must be patient, we must have courage, we must do whatever we can do to support this government .”

Speaking on the treasury single account and the BVN, he said these are part of efforts to reduce corruption and bring about transparency.

The Ogun East senator however appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the present administration for it to revive the economy.

“But, I can tell the masses today that since we started having presidents, it is now we have president because, the truth of the matter is that six months are very short to know what any president can do.

“What is causing problem is those who do not understand, who are corrupt and want this corruption to continue. But, you tell me any government which wants to restructure the country, who wants to lay the foundation whereby all the masses would be happy that will not start from corruption.”

“The ministers that he appointed have been warned that what is happening to the former ministers would happen to you if you fumble with me. That is why you see the kind of qualities of ministers that he has chosen. Today, I can say Nigerians have started gaining now, the TSA only has cleared 30 per cent of corruption.”

Kashamu lauded the judiciary over his victory at the Appeal Court saying judges should be continue to be the last hope of the common man.

He admonished PDP members in the state to remain united preparatory for next year’s Congress.

Ok

U mean even those that emptied their state coffers for his campaign






I no call pesin name oh!!

This got me laughing hard. Kashamu of all people has suddenly become a born-again in support of the fight against corruption.

I agree with his submission though but I doubt he would have spoken this way if he was a governor with immunity. He would have been a Fayose.

Lalasticlala Obinoscopy Mynd44, una see wetin I dey see?

Buruju of all people.

“President Buhari is not a president of APC. He is the president of PDP, President of the masses and president of the whole Nigeria.”


Kashamu is really showing class and leadership. NL wailers should take a cue from him. Perpetually abusing the president even without reason most times is not the way to go.

ok

Abi I have read all dis Story nii?

corruption can never be afraid of corruption..

This man must be very stoopid!

Haahahahahahahahahaha.
Kashamu is famzing in order to save his backside.
In his mind he is saying "if he chases looters like this, what will he do to drug peddlers?"

He is right....after all he got nothing to fear.
Kashamu is only a drug dealer, and not a corrupt politician

I disagree with the part in bold. Kashamu has always been a reasonable person even before becoming a senator. Remember his open letter of praise to Tinubu despite the fact that both of them belong to different political parties. Even in PDP, all their governors are not talkative like Fayose. Fayose's case is that of an isolated attention seeker. Everybody won't be like him.

Yes, such as AmeaTHIEF, not so

Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.
