Earlier today we reported that, Senator Buruji Kashamu representing Ogun East Senatorial district has been sacked following the ruling of election tribunal that sat in Ogun state in the early hours of today to annul the election that brought Kashamu into office.

In response to this the senator’s media aide, has gone public to play down rumors of him being sacked.

Find below an official press statement signed by the controversial politician’s media team:

“Our attention has been draw to some media reports that the Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District, Prince Buruji Kashamu, was today sacked by the Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

We wish to say that this is not a true reflection of what transpired at the tribunal.

Although the tribunal has said the full judgment will be made available on Monday, it could not be said to have sacked Kashamu because, according to it, after the removal of voided votes, Kashamu is still leading with 5,179 votes.

According to the  tribunal’s findings, Kashamu has 75,856 votes against Dapo Abiodun’s 70, 677 votes.

So how can the person leading be said to have been “sacked”? For who? The losing candidate? We think not.

Besides, the rerun was ordered in 110 out of over 1,135 polling units in the senatorial district.

Certainly, we are going to test veracity of the tribunal’s verdict at the Court of Appeal. The tribunal has given its judgment, but it is not the end of the road. That is the beauty of the judicial process.”
