The Senator representing Ogun East senatorial district in the National Assembly, Senator Buruji Kashamu , has fingered the Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose , as the one responsible for the leadership crisis currently rocking the Peoples Democratic Party .
He said this on Saturday in Ijebu - Igbo, Ogun State , during a reception ceremony organised to receive some leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress from Ogun West, who defected to the PDP.
He said members of the party , especially in the South West should hold him responsible for the crisis .
Kashamu , who criticised Fayose for taking on the garb of the “ leader or voice of the opposition ” , noted that the Ekiti State governor was the architect of the leadership crisis rocking the party at both national and South - West levels.
He , however , said that Fayose was using his attacks on President Muhammadu Buhari as a smokescreen to cover up when he would be eventually called to account for his deeds while in office .
He said , “ I am not unmindful of the antics of a governor in the South West who claims to have taken on the toga of the ‘ leader or voice of the opposition ’ . Let us not be deceived; he is not .
“As you probably would have known , he is only trying to pull the wool over our eyes in order to cover up his tracks . He seeks to use his rabid attacks on the President Muhammadu Buhari - led Federal Government as a cover when called to
account for his deeds in and out of office .
“He is the architect of the leadership crisis rocking our party in the South West and at the national level . Let all our elders and elders , and true sons and daughters in Yorubaland ignore his doomsday predictions and come together in unity and encourage the efforts of Buhari ’ s government that are geared towards rebuilding our country. ”
Kashamu who urged members of the party to desist from painting a gloomy picture of the present economic situation in the country, commended President Muhammadu Buhari - led administration, for cutting import duties on 173 items expected to boost industry and rejuvenate the small - scale sector of the economy .
