Nigeria's
opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has warned
against labeling its new national chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as
'Boko Haram sponsor'.
In a statement on Wednesday by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
national auditor, Alhaji Adewole Adeyanju, the party has warned the
public against labeling its new national chairman, Senator Ali Modu
Sheriff as 'Boko Haram Sponsor' and advised anyone or group with concrete evidence to prove same or keep quiet.
The statement said the allegation that Sheriff was romancing with
Boko Haram was a plot to discredit the party before Nigerians and the
international community.
The party appealed to all well-meaning Nigerians and the
international community to ignore the new antics of opponents trying to
spoil the party’s chances of reclaiming federal power in 2019.
"We are very much aware that some elements are jittery over
PDP’s decision to pick him as its national chairman and the only way out
for them is to label him as Boko Haram sponsor.
"They cannot succeed in their new plot because the government
would have arrested and charged him to court as done to a serving
Senator in the National Assembly during the President Goodluck
Jonathan’s administration. That trial (of a serving senator) is still in
progress," he added.
