A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) faction in Ogun State has explained why it suspended Senator Buruji Kashamu and other chieftains from the party.
The chieftains are Bayo Dayo, Chief Pegba Otemolu, Mr. Semiu Shodipo, Mr. Fatai Adeyanju, Mr. Segun Seriki, Hon. Daisi Akintan, and Hon. Bowale Solaja.
In a statement, the faction described the senator representing Ogun East District as an agent of destabilisation.
The factional chairman, Hon. Sikirulai Ogundele, said: “Contrary to the avowed claims by Senator Kasamu that he is the sole financier of our great party, we need to clarify that many members of the PDP have contributed in no small measure to the development of the party.
“Senator Buruji ,in concert with the former chairman of the party, Mr. Bayo Dayo, and some other members of his executive committee, have not properly rendered the accounts of the party.”
He alleged that the money paid into the party account were diverted.
Ogundele added: “We have since reported this matter to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for investigation. The decision to suspend Kasamu, Dayo, Otemolu, Shodipo, Adeyanju, Seriki, Akintan, and Solaja were done in good faith and it will take effect, following its ratification by the national leadership of our great party.”
