Kashamu: Obasanjo Writes Tukur, Withdraws From PDPBy Femi KehindeFormer President Olusegun Obasanjo has written the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, giving notice of his withdrawal from all activities of the party because the PDP has imposed Kashamu Buruji, who he described as a criminal wanted abroad, on the party as its South West zonal leader. In the letter, which he also copied President Goodluck Jonathan as National Leader of the party, Obasanjo accused the PDP of negating the principles of morality, decency and discipline in its decisions, especially as they affect the South West. “Kashamu Buruji has been so extolled in PDP in South-West geo-political zone which I personally find unsavoury. Politics played by any national political party must have morality, decency, discipline, principles and leadership examples as cardinal practices of the party. In the meantime, I will consider withdrawing my activity with PDP at local, state, zonal and national levels until the anomalous and shameful situation is corrected.”
