Why Kashamu Buruji of PDP Will Win Ogun State Governorship Election

Senator Kashamu Buruji, who is contesting the forthcoming governorship election in Ogun State under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been tipped for the coveted office based on his antecedents.

Buruji, representing Ogun East Senatorial District at the red chamber, is said to possess attributes that have endeared him to the people of the gateway state over the years.

Sources revealed that a lot of people in the state regard him as a compassionate politician, who had done a lot for the needy under his 'Omo Ilu' Foundation.

We were informed that Kashamu has been paying the medical bills of the indigent people in the state many of whom he has never met physically.

It was revealed that Kashamu sponsors people for the treatments of ailments such as cancer, fibroid, kidney disorder and many others.

A source gave example of a woman with breast cancer in Ota area of Ogun State, whose treatment was sponsored by Kashamu, who has never met her physically.

Kashamu, we gathered ordered that the woman should be taken to a leading hospital in Lagos State, where he sponsored her treatment.

There was also the case of a young man, who had an accident in Ota, Ogun State and was treated on the bill of Kashamu Buruji.

"Kashamu has so far distributed 2,000 buses to different people in Ogun State, who use them for commercial purposes. 

"He has a large followership in Ogun West and Ogun central despite the fact that he is from Ogun East and he has established a lot of people by giving them money to start their businesses.

"Kashamu has been doing something similar to 'Trader Moni' of the APC for so many years as he gives money to the poor and indigents to start businesses," said a source, who added that he is known by many people in Ogun State as a philanthropy with milk of human kindness," said a source.

It was revealed that Senator Kashamu Buruji has had a good relationship with some political leaders in Ogun State in the past including former president Olusegun Obasanjo and former governor Gbenga Daniel until he parted ways with them.

We were however informed that efforts were being made to reconcile with the two leaders and other leaders of the party in the state.

Sources within the PDP in Ogun State also informed us that contrary to insinuations in many quarters that the PDP was divided in the state, what is happening is mere clash of interest, which is currently being resolved so that the party could have victory at the governorship polls and give the people of the state dividends of democracy as against what the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has been giving them for the past eight years.

Attribution was made to unity rallies held across the state early in the year between the 'Omo Ilu' Faction of Kashamu Buruji and the Ladi Adebutu faction of the PDP,  where it was agreed that the two factions would work together after a court ruling on the matter.

The court ruling eventually favoured Kashamu Buruji Faction and it was gathered that the next court ruling on the matter is slated for March 6, 2019 three days to the governorship election with feelers that the ruling would favour the Kashamu Faction of the PDP.
