I Have No Plans Whatsoever To Join APC- Kashamu Declares

The Senator representing Ogun East
Senatorial District, Buruji Kashamu, has said he does not have any plans to decamp
to the All Progressives Congress, APC, saying, his support for the Federal
government’s anti-corruption stance is not borne out of any personal interest
but the interest of the masses who are in the majority and the love for the country.

‘’Our people have suffered for too
long because of a greedy few who amass our commonwealth for themselves and
their families,” he said.

He also said  corruption must die for Nigeria to live,
adding that all Nigerians must support President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-graft
war.

In a statement, the senator, who
said he was not supporting the war because he planned to switch from the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, added that; “Corruption by whatever colouration
is bad and inimical to our growth as a nation”.

He said successive governments had
made feeble and largely showmanship attempts to contain corruption with little
or no results and without a sustainable plan of action.

He said: “Let me make it
abundantly clear that I am not in any way romancing the APC. If truly politics
is about the people and a contest of ideas, I cannot understand why any
politician that is worth the name would see an idea that will benefit the
people and not support it, irrespective of political leanings. I will support
good initiatives, just as I will criticise bad ones.”

‘’We must realize that the
elections and campaigns are over. Whether we were elected on the platform of
the PDP or APC, our people trusted us with their mandate because they know that
we would represent them well and fight their course. It is a sacred
responsibility that we must not betray.”
