Gbenga Daniel Replies Buruji Kashamu

Ex-Governor Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State has replied Senator Buruji Kashamu. It is interesting to know that the senator from Ogun State lambasted the former governor via a text message recently.

“Build up to the 2007 election, to stabilize the Party, the leadership across board state-wide, decided that all elective officials should be allowed a second term. This is sequel to the UPN strategy in 1983 under Chief Awolowos leadership. So Apostle Salako was supported to go for the second term despite Ladi Adebutu’s bid. It was not about money then.”

“The strategy paid off, as the Party won all the elective positions in Ogun state without any exception and non of the elections was overturned in any court. The PDP in Ogun State was the model in Party organization and good governance nationwide. May God return our Party to such winning ways again. Amen.”

“Most of the Losers were fully compensated including Ladi who was appointed as a Commissioner in the Local Govt Service Commission after the election in 2007. This experience prepared him for the great job he is now doing at the National Assembly as the Chairman of LG Committee in the Hs of Rep.”

“Dateline 2011, all other Aspirants were asked to drop their ambition to support Ladi for the Hs of Rep. These Aspirants included Hon Fatai Sowemimo, Prince Niyi Akisanya and Hon John Obafemi who was asked to settle for the House of Assembly which he won. I virtually took over Ladi’s campaign in 2015 and thank God he won squarely.

“This is just by way of setting the records straight. I know that it’s OGD that many of our people see in their dreams everyday even when I have been doing more of looking than acting.”

“The responsibility that I have (having waited for several years hoping the winning ways will return) however is that as the main Builder of the Party brand in Ogun State, I have relationship with virtually everyone in every camp which cannot be wished away. They are all my people and I am determined to rebuild, enlarge and reunite that formidable machinery for the task ahead. So help us God.”
