Labour Party Woos Senator Kashamu…48hrs After He Was Suspended By PDP

The Labour Party has asked Senator Buruji Kashamu to feel free to join its fold following his suspension from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), moments before the latter’s national convention on Saturday.

The PDP had suspended Kashamu for one month without giving a definite reason for its action.

But extending a gesture to the Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District in the National Assembly on Sunday, Abdulkareem Abdulsalam, the Chairman of Labour Party, said the party was ready to accept Kashamu if he wants to join its bloc.

“Kashamu is free to come and join us. He is a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We shall accommodate him if he is willing to be part of us. Even if NUJ members show interest to join us, we shall accommodate you all.

“We have not met with him and we have not discussed anything, if he wants to come to our party as a patriotic Nigerian, a distinguished senator of the federal republic of Nigeria, he’s most welcome,” he said.

“The leadership of Labour Party in Ogun state is setting the ball rolling for the commencement of congresses in wards, local government areas and state.

“We are sure of repeating the glorious feat recorded in Ondo state when Governor Mimiko won governorship election in Ondo for two consecutive terms under the platform of Labour Party against all odds. We therefore strongly believe that Labour party is the party to beat in Ogun State in 2019 general election.

“Labour Party is just like NLC, we are not discriminating, we are not segregating, we are not sectional; we are open to everyone. If the governor and the deputy want to come from Egba, in Labour party we welcome it.

“Anybody that wish to contest for a post, if he’s acceptable to everyone, wins the primary election. Labour Party has no problem with them. We are not fanatics, we have no anointing candidates,” said Abdulsalam.
