Former Governor of Borno state,
Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, on
Monday distanced himself from
the arms-laden plane detained at
the Mallam Aminu Kano
International Airport, Kano.
The former governor and
chieftain of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) was
reported by an online newspaper
to have paid a visit to the Kano
Airport at the weekend to lobby
for the release of the plane that
was said to be on its way to Chad
to offload a large cache of arms.
Sheriff said in a statement made
available to Journalists in
Maiduguri that the report was
sponsored by his political
enemies that are looking for
ways of dragging him into the
mud to gain political edge in the
fight for the soul of Borno state.
