Ogun East covers eleven local government areas: Ijebu North East, Ijebu North, Ijebu-Ode, Ijebu East, Ikenne, Ipokia, Odogbolu, Obafemi Owode, Remo North, Sagamu, and Ogun Waterside. Senator Kashamu is the Vice-Chairman of the Senate Committee on States and Local Government.[1] He is chieftain of the People's Democratic Party (Nigeria) PDP in Ogun State. He was appointed as the Chairman, Organization and Mobilization Committee of the PDP in the South West zone of Nigeria.[2] In 2018 he was expelled from the People's Democratic Party,[3][4][5] a decision later voided by an Abuja High Court in October 2018. He is the 2019 Ogun State gubernatorial election candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party. Early life and educationBuruji Kashamu was born in Ogun state Nigeria on 19 May 1958. Kashamu started his education at Ansarudeen Primary School, Ijebu Igbo and left in 1972 to complete his primary school education at St. John Modern School, Lagos. He then attended evening classes at Igbobi College while working as a licensing agent. He later went to London where he took courses in Business Management at Pitman College, London.[6][7] He was awarded a Honourary PhD by the unaccredited, diploma-mill Cambridge Graduate University, located in Massachusetts, at a privately organised ceremony in Lagos, Nigeria.[8] Cambridge Graduate University claims to be accredited by the International Accreditation Organization (IAO); the IAO itself is listed as part of unrecognized higher education accreditation organizations. Cambridge Graduate University is not a recognised university in the United States due to this lack of accreditation.[8][9] PoliticsHe contested for the Ogun east senatorial seat and beat his closest rival with a poll of 99,540 votes against Prince Dapo Abiodun of the All Progressive Congress (APC) who polled 84,001 votes to clinch the senatorial seat.[10][11][12] He is the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 Ogun State gubernatorial election and lost against Dapo Abiodun of the All Progressives Congress in distance 4th.[13] ControversyIn 1998, Kashamu was arrested in the United Kingdom on drugs-related charges after trying to enter the country with $230,000 in cash.[14] He was acquitted and released in 2003. British authorities refused a US extradition request on drugs charges, citing concerns about his identity,[16] however Nigerian authorities announced their intention to deport him to the US on multiple occasions.[15] Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president, warned that his ongoing freedom illustrated that "drug barons ... will buy candidates, parties and eventually buy power or be in power themselves".[16] It is claimed that Kashamu is the real identity of "Alhaji", the drug kingpin in Piper Kerman's book, My Year in a Women's Prison.[16][17][18] References1. ^{{cite web |last1=Admin |title=Buruju Kashamu |url=http://www.nassnig.org/mp/profile/870 |website=NASS |accessdate=24 January 2019}} {{Nigerian Senators of the 8th National Assembly}}{{DEFAULTSORT:KASHAMU, Buruji}}2. ^{{cite web |last1=Adeyinka |first1=Abimbola |title=Abimbola Adeyinka: So I investigated that Buruji Kashamu's honourary PhD and here's what I found out |url=http://www.thescoopng.com/2014/10/18/abimbola-adeyinka-investigated-buruji-kashamus-honourary-phd-heres-found/ |website=The Scoop Ng |accessdate=24 January 2019}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=https://punchng.com/pdp-expels-buruji-kashamu-three-others/|title=PDP expels Buruji Kashamu, three others|work=Punch Newspapers|access-date=2018-11-16|language=en-US}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/277486-breaking-pdp-expels-buruji-kashamu-three-others.html|title=BREAKING: PDP expels Buruji Kashamu, three others|date=2018-07-23|work=Premium Times Nigeria|access-date=2018-11-16|language=en-GB}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=http://dailypost.ng/2018/07/23/pdp-expels-buruji-kashamu-three-others/|title=PDP expels Buruji Kashamu, three others -
