Tinubu in a statement released by his
media aide, Segun Dada yesterday April 21st, said Buruji who worked with
other PDP members to produce a defamatory document against him, Gen
Buhari and other APC members cannot all of a sudden begin to sing his
praises. He asked the politician to make a trip to the US
first as a Senator elect before he, Tinubu, can associate with him. Choi. These politicians. Read the statement after the cut...
The
statement in part reads;
"The
days of false adulation are gone in Nigerian politics. Fake praise
singers like Kashamu will find that their particular craft is no longer
in vogue. During this election cycle, their practice has dramatically
turned from the way things are to how things used to be. Politicians
will no longer be able to change direction and loyalties as if they were
changing clothes. Those in politics must know that responsibility and
accountability shall now follow them. One can no longer walk both sides
of the street at the same time. In case Kashamu has not noticed, the
politics of principle defeated the politics of posturing. Kashamu may be
prodigal but he is no political son of Tinubu. Kashamu’s political
lineage tracks to people like Bode George and President Jonathan. He
should direct his encomiums to these men who are his true role models.
They need his contrived affections more than Tinubu does. This same
Kashamu rained insults on former President Olusegun Obasanjo in a
vicious campaign of calumny. Kashamu’s party, the PDP, sponsored
defamatory documentaries full of lies and innuendos against me, General
Muhammadu Buhari and other leaders of the APC. Please keep your peace
until you make your trip to the USA as a senator-elect. Upon your return
we can then have a conversation. We can then proceed with your
repudiation of the PDP with a promise that you will stop corrupting and
fouling the political system. I am a patriotic, law abiding Nigerian and
my achievements make me world-renowned. I am a global citizen that
travels freely to the USA, the United Kingdom and other nations. I
associate with individuals who seek democracy and good governance for
all. I do not spend time with characters whose values are at variance
with societal expectations and laws governing a decent society".
Hold on to your praises, I don't need them - Tinubu tells Kashamu
APC Chieftain, Chief Bola Tinubu has released a statement calling on the
Ogun state Senator-elect, Buruji Kashamu to hold on to his praises as
he does not need them. Recall that Chief Buruji had in a open letter
last week called the former Governor his role model and the architect of
modern day democracy and asked for them to collaborate for the
upliftment of the yorubaland even though they are from different political
parties.
