SHUT UP
WHEN GOVERNORS ARE TALKING; YOU ARE JUST A SENATOR– FAYOSE FIRES BACK AT
KASHAMU
Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose has
fired back at the Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District, Prince
Buruji Kashamu, over his statement where he described him (Fayose) as a “liability, a loud mouth and animmature politician” who
is unfit to head the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors’ Forum.
Kashamu in a statement had said that
the Friday’s election, which produced Fayose as head of the PDP
governors’ forum was a huge joke.
“It was a misnormer that the governors of an opposition party that is in need
of rebranding and repositioning could chose a liability, a loud mouth and an
immature politician like Fayose as the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum.
“It is not that his emergence as the Chairman of the Forum
means anything to me. But as a committed and loyal party man, it gives me great
concern that instead of taking steps that will foster peace and unity, we are
doing things that will widen the gap and cause more unity.
“Those who chose him should have a rethink in the interest
of the party that is striving hard to return to power. His brother-governor,
Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, whose tenure he purportedly continued as Chairman of the
PDP Governors’ Forum, is a cool-headed and balanced character,” Kashamu had
said.
Reacting to Kashamu’s statement during an interview
monitored by DAILY POST in Channels TV Sunday night, Fayose asked the senator
to shut up and face his lestislative business.
He said, “Sen. Kashamu is just a Senator, when he comes up and becomes a
Governor, he will learn how to talk like a Governor”.
On the recent ‘accidental’ bombing of the Rann’s IDPs camp
where over 100 persons were killed, Fayose said it was unfortunate and
questionable.
According to him, the Nigerian Airforce would not claim it
was unaware that the IPDs were camped there.
“To them it was an accident but I think it was deliberate.
The federal government and the military were the ones that created the IDPs
camp and same them went and bombed it, it is quiet unfortunate and
questionable,” he said during the interview.
