Reconsider Buruji’s expulsion, Adekoya counsels PDP

A member of the House of Representatives and Deputy Chairman, Committee on Land Transport, Adesegun AbdelMajid Adekoya has advised the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), to revisit the expulsion of Senator Kashamu Buruji and three others from the party.
Senator Buruji, Bayo Dayo, Semiu Sodipo and Segun Seriki were recently expelled by the National Executive Committee (NEC), of the PDP at its 80th emergency meeting held on July 23 over alleged anti-party activities.
Reacting to the expulsion however, Adekoya, who represents Ijebu-North/ Ijebu-East/Ogun Waterside Federal Constituency, said in a letter addressed to the PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, that the party stand the risk of losing Ogun state in 2019 if the expulsions were not revised.
According to him, Senator Buruji played a key role in the victory of PDP in parts of Ogun state against Governor Ibikunle Amosu, arguing that his expulsion would leave his massive supporters out in the cold.
The letter read, “It is my considered opinion that this decision is hasty and ill-advised especially at this point in the life of our great party when all hands should be on the deck to heal wounds, build synergy, consensus, and reconcile all aggrieved members.
Politics is about numbers and every politics is local.
My chairman sir, in politics, somebody’s terrorist is another person’s freedom fighter.
“It should be noted that the said Kashamu is a serving Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, representing nine Local Government Council Areas out of twenty (20): eleven (11) State Constituencies our of twenty-six (26) and one hundred and three (103) electoral wards out of two hundred aid thirty-six (236).
