Africa Press-Nigeria :
The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Engr. Bayo Dayo has said that the former Senator representing Ogun East, Buruji Kashamu should either flow with the wind of reconciliation blowing across the party in the state or be left in the cold.
Engr. Dayo told journalists in Abeokuta on Thursday that Sen. Buruji Kashamu should know that the era of acting as the ‘sole proprietor’ or ‘defacto owner’ of Ogun PDP has gone for good.
He said they were already charting a new course of action where “the party will be owned and controlled by the people and not just an individual.”
Engr Dayo who was reacting to reports of his suspension as the Chairman of the party in the state by some members of the state executive said “these people were only doing paid job for their master, Sen. Buruji Kashamu”.
He described his purported removal as height of illegality, null and void.
Engr. Dayo said that as the party Chairman, he is a member of National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party adding that no organ of the party except the national leadership can discipline him.
The Ijebu Igbo born politician said that he remained Ogun PDP Chairman disclosing that he was being attacked by Sen. Buruji’s loyalists because the Senator had told him to back off from his ongoing reconciliation with Ladi Adebutu group in a bid to unite Ogun PDP and end the ten-year-old needless crisis in the state.
According to him: “what actually happened was that I wrote a letter to the lawyer representing the party debriefing him, I told him that we will no longer need his service because the other group under Hon Ladi Adebutu had reached out to us for reconciliation and the negotiations is ongoing.
“We have agreed to share the positions of the party between the two groups in the coming congress.
