The bitter political war between Senator Buruji Kashamu and Hon. Ladi Adebutu has taken a frightening dimension. We gathered that the two PDP chieftains from Ogun State are no longer in speaking terms and avoid each other in public. What went wrong between the duo who are both from Ogun East Senatorial District of Ogun State? Those in the know squealed that the PDP in the state has zoned the governorship to Ogun East Senatorial District and both politicians are interested in becoming the next governor of Ogun State.

We gathered that Senator Kashamu has already started his strategic political move for the guber race as he hosted all the co-ordinators of his group within the PDP, Omo Ilu Foundation on January 17, 2016 where he gave all the local government area co-ordinators cars and buses for the political battle ahead.

Those who attended the meeting at the Goodluck Jonathan Political Centre in Ijebu-Ugbo confessed to us that the senator is financially ready for the governorship race and he is ready to take anybody within the PDP.

Be that as it may, Hon. Ladi Adebutu is the son of Chief Kessington Adebutu popularly known as Baba Ijebu and one of the richest men in Ogun State. Sources said Hon. Ladi is banking on his father’s wealth and contact to defeat anybody that comes up within the PDP to challenge him for the governorship ticket. Besides, the youths of Ogun State are supporting him. Some PDP members are afraid that Senator Kashamu is too wealthy and may not be controllable if he becomes the governor of Ogun State.
