Atiku Did Not Visit Ogun State To Avoid Problem – Buruji Kashamu

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, Buruji Kashamu, has said Atiku Abubakar cancelled his campaign trip to Ogun State because he did not want to cause another violence.

The governorship aspirant also told Punch that despite the level of opposition that trailed his emergence as PDP’s candidate, he’ll still win the election.

“He (Atiku) decided not to visit Ogun State because he wanted to avoid having any problem. You know the other guy, Ladi Adebutu, is still parading himself as the governorship candidate. We all believe his (Atiku’s) coming can cause chaos. We had written to the police and the DSS to intervene so that there would be no problems. So, the fact that Atiku is a man of rule of law and the national executive has not been following the rule of law, that is why he declined to come to Ogun State.

“I believe the Almighty God is the most powerful and He has the result (of the elections) in his hands. I also believe He is the God of justice. It is not today that we have been on this journey. I love my people in Ogun State and they love me. I believe with much efforts and the support of the people, we will win the elections.”

He added that INEC should be relied on to deliver credible polls since they have enforced decisions, through out courts, that have been against APC.

“If, I win this election, I will know what to do to those who had been opposing me. But they had been meeting with me because they know there is nothing they can do. I am sure we will all reconcile at the end of the day.”
