Fayose Carpets Obasanjo Over Purported Comments On Kashamu

The former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has carpeted former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, over his comments about Senator Buruji Kashamu on his demise.

Senator Kashamu died from complications as a result of Covid-19 on Saturday, 8th August, 2020. He will be buried today in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.

In a rather shocking condolence letter allegedly written by Obasanjo, he reminded Senator Kashamu that despite escaping justice for some of his actions, he could not run away from death. This angered many, who have continued to wonder why such comments should emanate from an elder like Obasanjo.

One of those upset by Obasanjo’s comments is former Ekiti Governor, Fayose.

Fayose reacted thus: “It is regrettable that Obasanjo could say what he said about Buruji Kashamu after his death and when he can no longer question him. Why didn’t he say that when Kashamu was alive.. Can Obasanjo say in good conscience that he did not at some point collaborated with Kashamu and most of the things he (Kashamu) did politically were not with his collaboration?

“Nigerians will watch out for Obasanjo’s own end. He should stop forming saint because he is not. He should also remember that his own end will come too and nobody knows how the end will be…”
