Meanwhile, former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose has condemned the reaction of erstwhile President Olusegun Obasanjo to the death of Senator Kashamu.
Reacting to the Kashamu’s death, Obasanjo had said that Senator Kashamu might have escaped justice for his crimes, but couldn’t escape death.
Fayose condemned President Obasanjo, asking if he never collaborated with the deceased.
Fayose’s statement read:
I commiserate with the family of Senator Buruji Kashamu for this irreparable loss and pray for the repose of his soul. The Almighty God will console those he left behind.
“I also condemn the statement made by former President Obasanjo on his (Kashamu) death.
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,” Fayose’s statement read.
