The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party at the 2019 governorship election in Ogun State, Senator Buruji Kashamu, has accused the former State Chairman of the party, Chief Bayo Dayo, of betraying the party for monetary gains.

Chief Dayo had said that he ran out of favour with Mr. Kashamu because of his efforts at reconciling members of the party.

Reacting to the former PDP state Chairman, Mr. Kashamu said in a press release according to The Nation that Dayo’s reconciliatory move was not altruistic but for personal gain.

“About four weeks to the end of his second term as state chairman, Dayo decided to betray those he had led for eight years and purportedly sold 65 per cent of the party structure to Hon. Ladi Adebutu through a shady reconciliation arrangement. He kept the remaining 35 per cent for himself.

“It is this selfish and lopsided sharing ratio that they wanted to use to set up an imaginary caretaker committee. This is the same group that signed a three-year agreement with the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) on the 7th of March, 2019. The agreement is still valid till 2022 as it has not been renounced till date.”

Mr Kashamu alleged that Chief Dayo’s successor, Hon. Samson Bamgbose confirmed statements by witnesses claiming that they were offered money and added that he was offered some dollars which “Chief Dayo told him amounted to N10 million @N400 per dollar.”

“How can an individual trade-off a structure that has taken people huge resources and many years to build because he is a party Chairman?” Kashamu asked.
