A former Presidential Spokesman, Dr Reuben Abati, says the death of former lawmaker, Senator Buruji Kashamu, makes him feel like an orphan, adding that the deceased was his political mentor.
Abati said this in a statement titled, ‘On the Death of Senator Buruji Kashamu: A Preliminary Comment by Reuben Abati’ on Saturday.
He wrote, “I am completely heartbroken. Senator Buruji Kashamu was my political mentor. Now he is dead at the relatively young age of 62. I feel like an orphan all over again. I may have worked with the PDP government at the federal level, but he was the man who brought me into direct, partisan politics.
“He was a very simple man who was grossly misunderstood by his political opponents. His persona, his politics was indeed grossly misunderstood but those who knew him personally met a man who loved Nigeria dearly and was unapologetically public-spirited.”The former Presidential aide said Kashamu told him before his death that he was no longer interested in running for office but would continue to mentor and support people to win elections.
