A season of open letters. Former Nigerian leader, Olusegun Obasanjo has written another letter, this time to Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, the National chairman of the ruling People’s Democratic Party, resigning his membership of the party.
In the one-page letter dated 7 january ,2014 Obasanjo declared that he would, temporarily, cease to be a member of the party or participate in any political activity at any level, unless the party dissociated itself from businessman Buruji Kashamu, who appears to be the leader of the party in Obasanjo’s Ogun state and the country’s western region.
Declaring Kashamu as unfit for any leadership post in the party, he described him as a drug baron who has cases to answer in the United States of America.
Buruji Kashamu’s issue featured in Obasanjo’s earlier letter to President Goodluck Jonathan. And Kashamu responded that although he was once arrested in the UK for alleged drug offences, he was freed and that he is not on the wanted list of the Drug Enforcement Agency of the United States.
Buruji also stated that he was Obasnjo’s political ally in the battle to hijack the PDP from former Ogun governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel and wondered why Obasanjo now detested him when he once cavorted with him, when it suited him.
