[quotr]Factional National Chairman of the People’s D e m o c r a t i c Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff yesterday said the victory against Boko Haram by men of the Nigerian Army has clearly vindicated him from widespread allegation that he was the major financier to the insurgents.

Sheriff, who disclosed this in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, while addressing a mammoth crowd of party supporters during a familiarisation visit to the state, said he was wrongly accused of being the financier of Boko Haram insurgents.

The former governor of Borno State said Borno State was worse hit by the activities of the terrorists among other states in the North East, which had become hotbed of the insurgents, where scores of people had been killed.

He lamented that he was also a victim of the crisis as he lost his step mother, cousin and candidate in one of the attacks, even as he commended the Nigerian Army for winning the war against terrorists in the country.

“Borno State suffered a lot due to the activities of Boko Haram and I want to use this opportunity to thank the Nigerian Army for the defeat and add that I was one of the victims of the insurgency because I lost my step mother, cousin and a candidate of my party to Boko Haram.” Sherrif said.

According to him, he was in Benue State as part of the fulfillment of his promise to the people of the state during their visit to him in Abuja.

While stressing that for the party to attain enviable heights, he noted that power must return to the grassroots, whom he said are the real owners of the party.

Sheriff, who said he was poised to rid the party of impunity and woo more supporters to its fold, explained that PDP lost woefully in the last general elections due to the greed of some ex- governors, even as he said that there would be no impunity again as long as he remained the national leader of the party.

He carpeted former Minister of Communication, Prof. Jerry Gana for saying 90 per cent of the party is with the Senator Ahmed Makarfi- led faction, saying the other faction is peopled with individuals, who only rant on the television and who have lost value in the communities.

The national factional leader of the party in the state, Senator Joseph Akaagerger described the visit of Senator Sheriff as significant, and lauded the synergy between Benue and Borno States.

He, however, assured his supporters that all necessary machinery had been put in place for the victory of the party in 2019 general elections.[/quote]

Swear by the Quran if you didn't fund them and use them as your foot soldiers during your tenure as governor. Swear you didon't appoint one of them as your Commissioner

.

I still don't understand why this guy and senator Ndume are still walking freely and holding political posts even after a lot of incriminating evidences against them.

Mr. Sheriff shouldexplain to Nigerians the basis of the appointment of Alhaji Buji Foi, a boko haram leader as the Commissioner for Religious Affairs by his government. Alhaji Foi was made acabinet member as a compensation to the boko haram sect for supporting the governor’s re-election in 2003. He later resigned from the Sheriff government. He too was extra-judicially killed after his arrest by the soldiers.

Though,i have my reservation on PDP power tussle but if the two factions have the love of their party in thier hearts, they would have allowed peace to reign.Some said Sheriff is being used to destroy the party,either true or not posterity will judge and Nigeria history will never forgive those whose thier aim is to bring Nigeria to her kneels.

He talking sh!t

You were at Kano Airport earlier than the Chief of Army Staff when the armed plane landed at Kano. Neither you was the Defence Minister nor even you Chairing Senate Committee on Security Affairs. And why was it were you assigned with lots of security operatives despite the fact that you were not the only senator in the state? Mr contractor soon the truth must speak for itself..

If it quacks like a duck, it is definitely a duck.

Sherrif the darliing of APC zombies and Buhari fighting to destroy PDP opposition. Boko people

Mr Sheriff in a bid to get re elected, cuddled up to the group then due to their populist acceptance amongst borno people. He famously promised them sharia in return for votes.
Subsequently, the terrorist group got out of control as they felt despite all, they wanted a parallel existence to the constitution.
