Following a statement by a member of the House of Representatives representing Sagamu/Ikenne and Remo North Federal Constituency of Ogun State, Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu, that Senator Buruji Kashamu led some thugs to attack him in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, last Tuesday, the senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District has denied this as untrue. This was disclosed in a statement by Mr Austin Oniyokor, Media Adviser to Senator Kashamu who said there was no contact whatsoever between Senator Kashamu and Adebutu.
According to the statement: “The senator does not move with thugs and could not have done so in the company of respectable BoT members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, whom he rode with to the Presidential Hotel in Port Harcourt where he saw Adebutu.Senator Kashamu had gone to the Presidential Hotel in Port Harcourt in company of members of the BoT of the party after a meeting at another part of the town. As he made to leave and walked towards the car park, he saw Hon. Adebutu and instead of him to extend the usual courtesy expected from a younger one to the elderly, he (Hon. Adebutu) began to shout in Yoruba, saying, “What are you doing here? Go to Sheriff’s convention.”
