Kashamu Rejects Suspension By PDP, Blasts Fayose and Makarfi

Senator Buruji Kashamu has rejected his one-month suspension by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Reacting, Kashamu said the action “offends all known principles of justice and fair hearing”.

“The news of my purported suspension is coming on the heels of a pending appeal with a motion for injunction that has been properly entered and served on parties,” he continued.

“This renders the purported suspension a nullity as it offends the principle of ‘lis pendens’.

“Therefore, I reject the purported suspension because it offends all known principles of justice and fair hearing.

“Makarfi and his cohorts, especially Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose think that they can intimidate and pocket every voice of dissent within the party.

“Yet, they are quick to accuse the federal government of stifling the opposition when they are the real dictators and tyrants.”

Kashamu vowed not to bow to intimidation, appealing to party leaders and members to “rescue our party from the vice grip of these delinquents by electing a new and untainted leadership that will put an end to illegality, impunity, deceit and imposition”.
