Sen. Buruji Kashamu, a former senator who representesd Ogun East in the 8th National Assembly and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Ogun State has accused the former state chairman of the party, Engr. Adebayo Dayo of betraying the State Executive Committee, adding that he tried to sell the party for mess pottage.
In a strong worded press release issued by the former lawmaker, he said ” Engineer Adebayo Dayo vainly tries to impress on his paymasters, by his press conference, posts and comments, that he is in control of the Ogun State PDP Executive Committee, in order to receive the rest of the payment promised him for betraying his colleagues in the Ogun State PDP Executive Committee and his leaders in the state”
“Let the paymasters know that their pieces of silver for this betrayal (just like those paid to Judas Iscariot) are wasted. They have only bought their defeat again”
“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 Adebutu. What the Adebutus should realize is that they have been scammed, as Dayo has no power to transfer the structures of the Party to anyone”
Sen. Kashamu further stated that ” this illegal transaction shows the low mentality of Dayo. Otherwise, how can anyone think that he can sell a political structure comprising many interests, major stakeholders for a mere 100 million naira”?
On the perceived reconciliation, Sen Kashamu said “no one is against the reconciliation of any aggrieved members but the question members of the Party continue to ask is: how Dayo could claim that he was trying to reconcile anyone when he did not have any meeting with any stakeholder or any of the Party Executive Committees at LGA or ward level and carried nobody in the State Eecutive Committee along before signing his contract with the Adebutus. What is more intriguing is: how would someone who calls himself PDP Chairman want to sell the party to people who still have a binding and subsisting three-year agreement with the Allied People’s Movement (APM) in Ogun State. The agreement, which was publicly announced on the 7th of March, 2019. They have just done a year and the agreement will lapse in 2022. These elements have neither repudiated the agreement nor have they formally returned to the PDP”
“The party structure, which he has betrayed, is the same one that has sustained him as party leader in the state for the last 10 years, first as Ogun East Senatorial District Chairman for two years and then as State Chairman for 8 years”
“Yet, Dayo thinks he can now sell everyone in Ogun PDP to the Adebutus. He is the greatest betrayer of all time. No right thinking person should have anything to do with him”
He further wished all members of the Party in Ogun State to be peaceful and calm, adding that the former chairman has no hope of victory in his dastardly endeavours
“Constitutionally, the suspension of Adebayo Dayo was very much in order as prescribed by Article 57(3) of the PDP constitution”
“It is quite unreasonable for anyone to expect that after the acts of betrayal by Dayo, we should continue with him as Chairman, when the Ogun State chapter of the Party has the power to suspend him to give him the opportunity to defend himself against the complaint of our State Working Committee lodged against him at the NEC of the PDP” he concludes
