The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in
Ogun, Buruji Kashamu, says his emergence on INEC’s final list of
candidates is a victory for resilience.
Newsmen reports that the embattled Mr Kashamu made the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) final list of candidates for the 2019 general elections released yesterday.
In a swift reaction, Mr Kashamu, through his spokesperson, Austin
Onyikor, said in Ijebu Ode that despite the announcement, “there
was no victor, no vanquished.”
The senator, currently representing Ogun-East Senatorial District,
urged party faithful to work together for victory at the polls.
He said with the publication of the final list of candidates by INEC, it
was incumbent on all lovers of the party to close ranks and work to
deliver Ogun for PDP.
Mr Kashamu commended INEC and the judiciary for standing firm
on the side of justice and the rule of law.
“Like I said recently, we are members of the same family. We may
have our differences in the past. At the end of the day, it is the party
that wins, not any individual or group.
“We have to come together and work to deliver Ogun for PDP in all
the elections.
“As the governorship candidate of the party, my doors are wide
open. I am willing, able and ready to work with all in the overall
interest of our party and people,” he said.
Newsmen recalls that the lawmaker supported the Bayo Dayo-led Ogun
State PDP executive.
Mr Kashamu had been engulfed in a supremacy battle with the
Oladipupo Adebutu-led PDP faction in Ogun.
Mr Adebutu is also a governorship aspirant in Ogun and current
lawmaker representing Ikenne/Shagamu/Remo North Federal
Constituency at the House of Representatives.
