erunz:"Welcome back Home"? Shey I travel before? EastanPower:Well, I never said I've moved to APC. People only assumed while I watch in amazement. If you follow my activities on twitter you would have observed where I dispelled such insinuation when confronted. Anyway, I took a break from politics and I'm back to opposition politics. As for Sheriff's appointment, I think we should give our full support to the new man and work with facts. The good thing is that the PDP has taken a step but whether it is perfect or not depends on us and will be revealed by time! 2 Likes |

CuteInBlack:what followership is Oyegun of APC commanding? Btw Ribadu and Sheriff, sheriff is a political heavyweight than Ribadu. The controversy being generated is a clear sign that pdp got it spot on! In politics u must have a face and Reputation. Controversy is hit! PDP needs a tested political gladiator not a Mr clean to rebirth and challenge the apc. Political arena is not for the faint hearted rather those who are ready to rumble! Welcome the Chairman CAS!!!!! |

TonyeBarcanista: [b]You miss my point. 1. Your whole article was based on the supposed allegations that SAS (Sen. Ali Modu-Sheriff) is one of Boko Haram's founders which you could easily disprove with your write up. That amounts to changing the narrative to an easier one to defend. The real allegation is that of SAS sponsorship of Boko Haram. I challenge you to put up a convincing post defending why SAS is not a Boko Haram sponsor which is the real allegation on ground. 2. The allegations of sponsoring Boko Haram by SAS is not a new one. It is common folklore in the NE for the past 4 years (a region which you OP probably have never been to), up to the point where the Australian negotiator with Boko Haram, Dr. Stephen Davies named SAS as one of the Boko Haram sponsors in 2014. Dr. Davies is yet to be disproved. https://www.naij.com/283220-australian-negotiator-insists-modu-sheriff-ihejirika-boko-haram-sponsors.html One thing for sure is there is no smoke without fire. If PDP is a party that has a sense of credibility or integrity, they would not name a man with such a hefty baggage as part Chairman, interim or not. My suspicion is that SAS has brought a large booty of funds to a party that is currently broke from not having access to government funds under PMB and a hawk-eyed EFCC. For PDP this is a means to survival. But I am not surprised because PDP as a party has no soul that we can't even accuse it of selling out.[/b] 5 Likes 1 Share |

LRNZH:1. When an accusation is made, the onus is on the accuser to prove the allegation and not the accused to prove otherwise. The accused will only respond to whatever is presented by the accuser and set record straight. I have looked at the whole thing and yet to see anywhere linking SAS. Note that before now I was one of those that put up a straight face when the announcement was made. I know the importance of image. 2. Yes, Reverend Davies made allegation but again he's yet to tell us what links SAS. I implore APC government to revisit the allegation that was made on Arise TV. 3. PDP caucus have their reason behind Sheriff. Perhaps they want a "strongman" from the NE but whatever the reason is, only time will tell whether or not it is spot on. Beside was he lacking credibility when he was ANPP BoT Chairman? |
Re: Setting The Record Straight On PDP Chairman Ali Modu Sheriff by Chigold101(m): 6:08pm On Feb 17, 2016 |
Tonyebarcanista Your point is well written but how can a party in dire need of way forward appoint someone whom even members of his party distrust so much? How would Ali Modu Sherrif convince ordinary Nigerians that he has no hand in BH? Bros the truth is that PDP goofed BIG TIME by appointing him their chairman. ARE THERE NO MORE CREDIBLE SANE PEOPLE in PDP? A man that is gasping for water does not acid to survive. If he does... U know what the result will be. Bros stop “making“ his image, PDP under Ali Sherrif wont survive 2016. I see 3new parties unless something happens before June in PDP. ALI MODU SHERRIF IS A VERY WRONG CHOICE. 2 Likes |

TonyeBarcanista: But you are addressing the wrong issue (or a non-issue). Founding Boko Haram is not the allegation. Sponsoring Boko Haram is the allegation. With all due respect, your write-up is irrelevant to addressing, proving or disproving any allegation. It only serves to share your opinion (approval) on SAS selection as PDP Chairman and you are entitled to hold any opinion. For the sake or prosperity, the allegation runs thus: A group known as Borno Patriots was set up to campaign for Sheriff's arrest. The campaign against Sheriff intensified after he took part in negotiations to release an arms-filled Russian cargo plane in Kano. Allegations that Sheriff had connections with Boko Haram surfaced in 2003, when, according to reports, he courted the terror group during his campaign for the post of governor of Borno State. Sheriff allegedly courted Boko Haram for the mass appeal that they had in Borno and Yobe states, and for the militant, strong-arm tactics that the Islamists had to offer him to defend his influence. Boko Haram in return received resources to buy weapons and were promised that a strict sharia law would be enforced in the state. Sheriff eventually implemented sharia in Borno state after he came to power in 2003. But Boko Haram felt that it didn't go far enough. http://www.theafricareport.com/West-Africa/nigeria-group-wants-ex-governor-arrested-over-boko-haram-links.html So Boko haram existed before SAS approached them. Also, between Zanna and SAS lies the secret of Boko Haram sponsorship. Senator Ahmad Zanna, representing Borno Central, has said a Boko Haram commander, Shuaibu Bama, was arrested in the house of former governor Ali Modu Sheriff and not in his (Senator Zanna) house, contrary to the claim by the Joint Task Force, JTF. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/10/high-profile-boko-haram-member-arrested-in-ali-modu-sheriffs-house-zanna/ Please show us evidence of SAS being ANPP national BOT Chairman. Also, is PDP modeling itself after the defunct ANPP? I SMH. Like I stated NE "strongman" is due to monetary purposes. In Borno state, SAS is a persona non-grata with the masses: SAS has been stoned severally in Maiduguri: http://www.osundefender.org/youths-stoned-modu-sheriffs-car-as-hundreds-of-soldiers-lead-him-into-maiduguri/ QED. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I said this in an earlier thread "To me, I think The PDP isn't dumb as to appoint Sherrif their chairman for nothing with all the scathing allegations against him. The PDP must have something up their sleeves... might be a stunt to pull in something we've not yet seen. Waiting eagerly. To APC supporters shouting from every whole in their bodies, If you make UNSUBSTANTIATED accusations against sherrif, it means everything we've said about the dullard sponsoring BH are valid... cos y'all replies were 'We've got no evidence'." Maybe you may have seen it.... The Rhetoric on Sherrif sponsoring Boko Haram blew out of proportion when Yusuf was extra judicially killed outside a police station in Maiduguri after sherrif had met with him for allegedly trying to "escape" People suggested that he (SAS) tried to shut him up (About his role in BH) diplomatically but Yusuf declined so he ordered the policemen to kill him. In fact, I was schooling in Maiduguri then... it was a hot topic! I still cannot fathom the logic behind his emergence but as you said, only time will tell. Plus all the reasons you gave up there are valid. 1 Like |

Between Ndume, Ali Modu Sheriff Buhari and Boko Haram Like it or not, any power broker in the North today is one that has links to Boko Haram. It is either a Buhari that Boko Haram nominates to represent them, an Ndume that agrees he buys Boko Haram goats and yet APC makes him an officer of the house, or an Ali Modu Sheriff that PDP may have named their party chairman. Guys like Namadi Sambo and Ribadu with zero links to Boko Haram means they are not so grassroots. The grassroots in the North is very linked to Boko Haram, like it or not. It is like a governor of Niger Delta state saying he does not have one or two militants supporting him. Na lie. Nigeria has lost her conscience and soul. We all knew Buhari would free Boko Haram members caught.He did and does still. We know Ndume is like a god in the Legislature as he is the one guaranteeing people's safety. PDP has played it smart choosing Ali Modu Sheriff. The election results and violence will now be both ways. Nigeria has proven they hate gentlemen. It is roforofo Boko Haram style between APC and PDP in that North. It is battle for the grassroots. As long as Buhari and Ndume are in power in APC, PDP has elected the best foil for them. It takes iron to bend iron. You do not take a knife to a gunfight. It Will never be about bettering Nigeria. It will always be about POWER!!! - Ofygara 1 Like 1 Share |

LRNZH:Again you failed when you choose to use "Zanna's baseless argument". Let me quote the JTF Spokesman Col Sagir.... “At about 11 am on Thursday, October 18, 2012, a high profile Boko Haram commander, one Shuaibu Muhammed Bama, who has been on the list of wanted terrorists operating between Bama and Maiduguri, was arrested by the task force troops in a serving Senator’s house along Damboa Road, GRA, Maiduguri. He is in the custody of the JTF and assisting in the investigation and has since made startling revelations,” the statement, which was signed by its spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa, said.www.dailytrust.com.ng/sunday/index.php/top-stories/11845-boko-haram-now-senators-sheriff-zanna-clash-on-the-truth Fact check shows that ONLY Senator Zanna has house in Damboa Road, GRA and Zanna admitted that Bama that was arrested is/was his nephew. How did Sheriff come into this? Abi JTF no know where them arrest person again? Who stoned Sheriff? APC loyalists or "Maiduguri people"? |

Re: Setting The Record Straight On PDP Chairman Ali Modu Sheriff by Chigold101(m): 6:47pm On Feb 17, 2016 |
TonyeBarcanista:Well... It is a pity because there will be no time here to tell if Modu Sherrif is wrong or not. The party called PDP is in trouble. They goofed by chosing Modu. As for boko haram & buhari. Buhari is strong sympatiser of boko haram. His statements before he became the president and how he releases boko haram detanees also prooves that. Having said that. The level of Sherifs involvement in controvercy is the one that no sane person would overlook based on where PDP is today in Nigeria. Arms deal scandal (dasukigate) has mared the image of every PDP member. To the extent that even PDP members are ashamed of standing up in some places. We know that PDP members are being witch hunted but it doesnt matter to any Nigeria. PDP needs a CLEAN man. APC picked Buhari because he is “believed“ to be a man of integrity. PDP is fallen down like LONDON BRIDGE. |
