Former Ogun state governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel has accused Senator Buruji Kashamu of masterminding an assassination attempt on his life.
Otunba Daniel urged the police authorities to put the senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District under security watch list and strict surveillance.
However Senator Kashamu in his reaction denied the allegation in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Austin Oniyokor, saying, “It is certain that OGD is hallucinating.
He is the accuser, the investigator, prosecutor and judge in his own case. Why would Senator Kashamu go after a man who is at the twilight of his political career? Clearly, OGD is afraid of his shadows,” Oniyokor said.
Otunba Daniel in his petition to the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris alleged that five armed men stormed his Abuja residence on Thursday August 24 2017 at about 9.13pm asking for him but he had already left Abuja earlier in the day.
He said the assailants left when one of the policemen guarding his house started firing his gun.
The former Ogun state governor alleged that “this renewed offensive was as a result of the recent Supreme court ruling placing his own faction at a disadvantage and ending the reign of his control over the State Executive committee of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun state.
It is Kashamu’s belief that I was the brain behind his loss of power and relevance in Ogun State PDP and he felt I must be brought down by all means.
Kashamu added that what would have been expected of a sane mind was to report the incident to the police and allow them to do their job of investigating the incident.
But instead he decided to raise a false alarm to score cheap political point and seek relevance for his dimming political career, and pin it on someone who does not even care if he exists.
Fayose said Senator Kashamu connived with others in the Alli Modu Sheriff faction to destabilise the party for almost two years.
