President Olusegun Obasanjo and late Senator Buruji
Kashamu.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Saturday condoled
with Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, over the demise of Senator
Buruji Kashamu.
Kashamu’s death was announced on Saturday after he succumbed to
COVID-19 complications, according to former colleague Senator Ben
Murray-Bruce.
In a statement signed by his spokesman Kehinde Akinyemi,
Obasanjo said while Kashamu’s death was “sad”, his life and history
left “lessons for those of all us on this side of the veil.”
“Senator Buruji Kashamu in his lifetime used the maneuver of law
and politics to escape from facing justice on alleged criminal
offence in Nigeria and outside Nigeria,” Obasanjo said.

“But no legal, political, cultural, social, or even medical
maneuver could stop the cold hand of death when the Creator of all
of us decides that the time is up.
“May Allah forgive his sin and accept his soul into Aljanah, and
may God grant his family and friends fortitude to bear the
irreparable loss.”
Before his death, Senator Kashamu was engaged in a long, legal
battle against the federal government over extradition to the US to
face alleged drug trafficking charges.
