Senator Buruji Kashamu is bitter about his suspension from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by members of the National Caretaker Committee of the party.

Senator Buruji Kashamu

Buruji said he was neither accused of committing any crime not asked to come and defend himself before any committee. He, therefore, wondered why he would just be suspended by the party without following the rules.

The National Caretaker Committee of the party led by Senator Ahmed Makarfi had announced Buruji’s suspension, which it said would last for one month.

Insiders told us that the party took the decision following the ruling of the Federal High Court in Abuja, which had on Wednesday, struck out a suit filed by Kashamu, to stop the party from taking any disciplinary action against him.

Delivering judgment, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba declined jurisdiction to hear the case on merit and struck it out after upholding PDP’s preliminary objection challenging the suit.
The judge described the suit as hasty, premature and inappropriate for the purpose it sought to achieve.

Kashamu had , on September 18, 2017, through his lawyer, Mr. Raphael Oluyede, filed the suit , marked FHC/ABJ/CS/866/2017, faulting all disciplinary steps, including his referral to the Chief Tom Ikimi-led Disciplinary Committee of the party and the query dated September 7, 2017 issued to him by the party.
