Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has described the death of Senator Buruji Kashamu as a big lesson to everyone.
Obasanjo, in a condolence letter to Ogun State Governor,Dapo Abiodun by his Special Assistant Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, described the death of Kashamu as sad and an irreparable loss.

The letter reads: “I received the sad news of the demise of Senator Esho Jinadu (Buruji Kashamu) a significant citizen of Ogun State. Please accept my condolence and that of my family on this irreparable loss.
The life and history of the departed have lessons for those of all us on this side of the veil.
“The life and history of the departed have lessons for those of all us on this side of the veil. Senator Esho Jinadu (Buruji Kashamu) in his lifetime used the manoeuvre of law and politics to escape from facing justice on alleged criminal offence in Nigeria and outside Nigeria.
But no legal, political, cultural, social or even medical manoeuvre could stop the cold hand of death when the Creator of all of us decides that the time is up.
