Kashamu, Nwodo tackle Fayose's presidential bid

The lawmaker, representing Ogun East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Buruji Kashamu, on Thursday, condemned Fayose for inaugurating his presidential campaign ahead of the 2019 elections.

Describing Fayose as a joker and a major destroyer of the PDP, Kashamu called the Ekiti State governor as an ‘alawada’ (Yoruba word for comedian) like Baba Sala.

“Baba Sala is the stage name of veteran Yoruba comic actor, Moses Olaiya.

“He looks like Baba Sala, alawada kerikeri. He is not reliable,” Kashamu said.

The PDP financier said this while speaking toThe PUNCH on the telephone on Thursday in reaction to the official declaration of Fayose’s presidential campaign in Abuja.

The lawmaker decried that Fayose, being the Chairman, PDP Governors’ Forum, who could be likened to the ‘president’ of the party, had failed to obey the zoning agreement in the PDP.
