Everyone has a lesson to learn from the death of Senator Kashamu - Obasanjo

The Formal President of Nigeria Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has expressed bitterness over the death of Senator Kashamu Buruji.

It was reported that Senator Kashamu died of COVID-19 on Saturday, August 8, 2020 according to multiple reports now confirmed by Senator Ben Murray Bruce.

The former President, in a condolence letter to the Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, noted that everyone has a lesson to learn from the death of Senator Kashamu.

Obasanjo’s condolence letter read:

“I received the sad news of the demise of Senator Esho Jinadu (Buruji Kashamu), a significant citizen of Ogun State.  Please accept my condolences and that of my family on this irreparable loss.

“The life and history of the departed have lessons for those of us on this side of the veil.

“Senator Esho Jinadu (Buruji Kashmu) in his lifetime used the maneuver of law and politics to escape from facing justice on the alleged criminal offence in Nigeria and outside Nigeria.

“But no legal, political, cultural, social or even medical manoeuvre 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.”

Buruji Kashamu was a Nigerian politician who served as a Senator representing Ogun East in the 8th National Assembly.
