Kashamu Buruji

Despite the baggage of allegations he carries, thanks to ongoing entanglements with anti drug law agency – National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria – Kashamu Buruji appears to be winning the war of popularity with estranged party man, House of Representatives member, Ladi Adebutu and rival in another party – Dapo Abiodun.

Both Ladi Adebutu and Kashamu Buruji are members of the People’s Democratic Party while Dapo Abiodun is of the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Adebutu and Buruji are currently engaged in a fierce battle for the control of the party structure in Ogun state.

Adebutu, son of wealthy lottery boss Kessinghton Adebutu has aspiration to become the next governor of Ogun state.

And he wants to wrestle the PDP structure from Kashamu to achieve his aim.

The battle to achieve this objective has seen the combatants in same political party employ different ploys including legal suits and arrests by police on allegations of threats to life.

Their supporters where not left out as they seek to increase numbers by targeting converts from each other’s camp and raiding opposition groups.

But while Adebutu appears position in the group within his factionalized party, Kashumu appears winning the popularity battle on the street.

He is said to be dispensing patronage like never before and scored a major goal with the Id El Kabir gift he dished out.

While State Governments cancel customary gifts of rams for Islamic faithful and the economy labelled a mess with all cutting costs, sources confirmed Buruji ordered trailers loads of rams and doled it out to party faithful and supporters and sympathisers irrespective of party affiliations and religious faiths.

Sources claimed that singular action served a master stroke in pushing him beyond others in the popularity contest.

‘’He spread the gifts across the states, to both muslims and Christians…in a system that people were groaning under the pains of economic hardship, it was major move..some sold theirs , others slaughter theirs

‘’But what is clear, people have not stopped talking about the succour he gave them’’ a source disclosed.

Digs by societynowng.com revealed the talks and adulations that trailed the development brought Kashamu a shine that eclipsed Dapo Abiodun, his main rival in his Ogun East constituency and dwarfed Ladi Adebutu, the man struggling for control of the structure of PDP in the state with him.

‘’Kashamu is the name on the streets now and many are looking for ways to get to him to get a slice of their own..especially those who missed out of the free rams’’ a source explained.

Another keen observer however pointed out ‘’ mind you we are talking about popularity, not loyalty…they are two different things, whether the people seeking him out, serenading him are loyal or not i cant say

‘’but as regards street popularity, Kashamu is the man of the moment in Ogun politics, especially Ijebu area at present’’
