Ogun PDP crisis: Suspended chairman, Kashamu clash

April 15, 2020

the embattled Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, Bayo Dayo, has accused former senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District, Buruji Kashamu, of attempting to bribe him with N10m to compromise the party congresses in the state.







Dayo was suspended by the party in the state for alleged anti-party activities.



While reacting to his suspension by some members of the executive of the party in the state, Dayo said he remained the party chairman because he could only be punished by National Executive Committee of the party.







He said, “They (Kashamu group) came to my house day before yesterday with N10m; they told me to take the money in order to sign their papers.



“The paper is to withdraw the letter I wrote to the lawyer. I was also asked to write a letter to INEC telling them we have concluded the congresses of the state.







“I resisted, I said I have written a letter to the lawyer that I do not need his services anymore because we are going to unite ourselves and I cannot sign the other letter telling INEC that we have concluded the congresses.



“I am still the state chairman, they are just deceiving themselves. The side of the case is that I am making a move to reconcile with the other group in our party in Ogun State so that the party can move forward.







But reacting to the allegation by Dayo, Kashamu in a statement he personally signed described Dayo as a betrayer.



He said, “We have the evidence of the meeting at Equity Hotel, Ijebu Ode, where Dayo collected money to sell the Ogun State structures of the PDP to Kessington Ade butu.

A leader, technocrat, Jibrin Muhammad Barde, a year older April 17, 2020 Today, April 16, 2020, a great and illustrious son of Gombe State, an accomplished banker, a boss, husband, father and brother, Jibrin Muhammad Barde is a year older. He stands as strong as a rock, not by his wisdom alone but by his strong faith in Allah and his keen reflex, his courage and his bull-like determination to pursue a people-driven cause. In 2018, this unassuming and brilliant young man felt the urgent need to serve his people and within few months of consultations, his name became a household name in the state. He became a threat to the political players although he was a different breed of politician. Peaceful but brave and courageous, intelligent, compassionate and a man with a heart of gold. I learned so many things from him. He taught me that when I believe in a cause that is just, there should be no going back. From him, I learnt more that you begin to see obstacles only when you t...
