Senator Buruji Kashamu representing Ogun East Senatorial District at the Senate have said that he regret why he cant deliver Ijebu state to his people.
Kashamu revealed this in a recent interview with Punch when he was asked if he has fulfilled the purpose for whcih he wanted to be a legislator.
He answered:
My answer will be yes and no. Yes, because despite not being a noisemaker, I have given quality representation to my people. More than ever before, in two years, I have attracted a lot of projects to the Ogun East Senatorial District. Of the nine local government areas in my senatorial district, there is none of them that did not benefit from at least two projects that I have facilitated. Many of our youths have been employed at various places, including the Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigerian Army, Nigerian Air Force, Nigeria Police, and Security and Civil Defence Corps, among others.
However, I regret the fact that I have not been able to deliver on my promise to lobby my colleagues at the National Assembly towards the creation of Ijebu State. I have also not been able to use the legislative process to ensure the completion of the Olokola Free Trade Zone and the cargo airport projects. This is mainly due to the loss of power by the PDP during the 2015 general elections. Yet, I have facilitated over 30 projects in various parts of my senatorial district. The projects cut across education, health care, rural electrification and the provision of potable water to communities.
