It seems desperation is the name of the game for this man; he has been
trying to become overnight friend with all those he attacked and
rubbished when President Goodluck Jonathan was fully in charge.
Ogun State PDP Senator-Elect, Buruji Kashamu, has described the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as his role model.
Kashamu, who is the chairman, Organisation and Mobilisation Committee of PDP in the South-West, paid a rare tribute to Tinubu, describing Tinubu as a true hero to be emulated by every Nigerian.
Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo want him to be sent abroad to face criminal charges but from the look of things, Kashamu is trying to be friendly with APC to escape arrest.
In his open letter addressed to Tinubu, Kashamu said, “Truth be told, men like you are made up of sterner stuff and are rare to come by in every generation. Little wonder you are called the Asiwaju and Jagaban of Borgu. I doff my hat.
“I hope that in spite of our membership of different political platforms, we would be able to collaborate for the upliftment of Yorubaland in particular and Nigeria as a whole.
“My sincere prayer is for the Almighty Allah to keep you and give you good health and long life to be able to see the Nigeria of your dream. For me, I join other Nigerians in wishing you the best, even as we aspire and pray Almighty Allah to make us – the younger ones – be like you, the Jagaban of Borgu.”
Kashamu described Tinubu as the architect of modern Nigeria, who, he said, made history by leading the opposition for 16 years and then grabbing power at the centre.
He said without Tinubu, the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, would not have won the election.
He said, “Although I now belong to the opposition, your achievements transcend political divides and I am not ashamed to publicly acknowledge them. There is no denying the fact that your place in the history of the Yoruba race in particular, and, in Nigeria in general, is well etched.
“The fanatical support that the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, enjoys in his homestead was matched with your commanding influence in the politics of the South-West and indeed the Yoruba race to produce the results we witnessed during the elections."
