ABEOKUTA-The Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Prince Buruji Kashamu has faulted the choice of Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose as the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors' Forum. Kashamu who stated this in a statement he issued in Ijebu-Igbo, Ogun State on Sunday said, "It was a misnormer that the governors of an opposition party that is in need of rebranding and repositioning could chose a liability, a loud mouth and an immature politician like Fayose as the Chairman of the PDP Governors' Forum.
