The national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has rejected the praises showered on him by Ogun-East senator-elect, Buruji Kashamu.

Kashamu, who is the Chairman of the Organisation and Mobilisation Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party in the South-West, had last week, described Tinubu as his role model and the architect of modern Nigeria.

However, Tinubu, in a statement by his media adviser, Mr. Sunday Dare, described Kashamu as a pretender.

The former governor of Lagos State said there was no basis for comparison between himself and Kashamu, adding that he felt insulted by the open letter addressed to him by Kashamu.

He said, “The days of false adulation are gone in Nigerian politics. Fake praise singers like Kashamu will find that their particular craft is no longer in vogue. During this election cycle, their practice has dramatically turned from the way things are to how things used to be.

“Politicians will no longer be able to change direction and loyalties as if they were changing clothes. Those in politics must know that responsibility and accountability shall now follow them. One can no longer walk both sides of the street at the same time. In case Kashamu has not noticed, the politics of principle defeated the politics of posturing.”

Tinubu said it was ironic that Kashamu could praise him after conspiring with other PDP leaders to produce and broadcast a hate documentary against him.

He said Kashamu’s actions and lifestyle showed that President Goodluck Jonathan and the leader of the PDP in Lagos, Chief Bode George, were his true role models.

Tinubu said Kashamu, who was rude to elders like former President Olusegun Obsanjo could not be his political son

He said, “Kashamu may be prodigal but he is no political son of Tinubu. Kashamu’s political lineage tracks to people like Bode George and President Jonathan. He should direct his encomiums to these men who are his true role models. They need his contrived affections more than Tinubu does.

“This same Kashamu rained insults on former President Olusegun Obasanjo in a vicious campaign of calumny. Kashamu’s party, the PDP, sponsored defamatory documentaries full of lies and innuendos against me, General Muhammadu Buhari and other leaders of the APC.”

Tinubu urged Kashamu to turn himself to the United States’ authorities over the accusations of drug smuggling levelled against him, adding that only then would he believe that he was a reformed person.

The former governor said as a person of repute, he could not be seen to be hobnobbing with people of questionable character as this would affect his reputation across the world.

“Please keep your peace until you make your trip to the USA as a senator-elect. Upon your return we can then have a conversation. We can then proceed with your repudiation of the PDP with a promise that you will stop corrupting and fouling the political system.

“I am a patriotic, law abiding Nigerian and my achievements make me world-renowned. I am a global citizen that travels freely to the USA, the United Kingdom and other nations. I associate with individuals who seek democracy and good governance for all. I do not spend time with characters whose values are at variance with societal expectations and laws governing a decent society.”

That Kashamu guy wanted massaging Tinubu's ego before decamping to the winning party but Tinubu is sharper than him, he should stop deceiving himself, pdp leaders should be his role model in politics and he should quickly write his Will because life imprisonment awaits him in US for pushing drugs.

Nigeria's Two Biggest Drug lords . When drug lords fights, the street pays the price.


This tinubu is a joker o, like we didn't know he entered into a plea bargain with the US authorities to forfeit some of his cash for freedom....

Both tinubu n kashamu r thiefs

Being in the bad book of the two most influential leaders i.e. Tinubu and OBJ in Nigeria is suicidal. Tinubu might forgive but trust me Baba Iyabo will talk,act the talk and never forgives. As plans they say is on the way by OBJ & Co. to restructure PDP and if this is true and he succeeds, Buruji is dead politically.

Thieves

Tinubu is too smart to be coaxed and cajoled into saving you from facing justice Mr Kashamu. Obasanjo is even worse. Buhari himself wouldn't dare interfere with the process.

You said you have no case pending against you, why then are you running from one iroko tree to another trying to hide.

I can already see you in orange jumpsuit like I did Suge Knight a coupla days ago on CNN. You guys look alike in stature. Hope you be given a Buck Rogger's time when you get there.

Well, that could save the American tax payers a couple of dollars.

Kashamu have you heard? Sew the damn things in naija and take it along with you to America. You would be the Senator representing Nigerian inmates in US prisons.

That is the unnecessary and wasteful practices in Nigeria politics. If not madness, how can a single person have 30 cars lining up after him. Na so him enemies plenty.

When people talk this about Tinubu,I marvel at the rate unscrutinized & unverified information get consumed by "eager-to-consume" Nigerians.
Little wonder Y our politicians do everytin during elections to blackmail each other instead of give manifestoes,because they know their gullible "eager-to-consume" customers are out there.
On dis tinubu issue,doesn't common sense tell u like it tells me,that even if a plea bargain was struck,tinubu's name by now must be on the US blacklist as a drug pusher,and his entry into the US forthwith must have been barred?
You think its Nigeria?
Mind you,plea bargain isn't an acquittal but a faster means to Justice,thus,its yet a conviction.
Repent,be Educated & be wise!
