A Major financier of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ogun State, Prince Buruji Kashamu, has faulted reports of impeachment threat against the leadership of the National Assembly.

In a statement, Kashamu said the allegation by the Alhaji Kawu Baraje-led group was “a clever-by-half move to blame another person for their own plot.”

The statement reads in part: “There are rumours that between September 9 and 13, 2013, N700 million was moved from Kwara State under the pretext that the money belongs to Unity Bank.

“Precisely, on Monday, September 9, 2013, the sum of N350 million was said to have been moved in four Ghana-Must-Go bags from the state into Abuja. The money was reportedly traced to the state government.

“Yet, some officers of the bank, working in concert with some government officials, pretended as if the money belonged to the bank.

“…The couriers of the money were reportedly arrested by vigilant officials of Department of Security Service, DSS, at the Ilorin airport. They were later released upon the intervention of a higher authority and the slush fund found its way into Abuja.”
