Ali-Modu Sheriff: Allegations of Boko Haram Connection (What the Records Say) by LRNZH(m): 8:05pm On Feb 17, 2016 |
This is a response to a recent topic on NL FP exhorting the virtues of Senator Ali-Modu Sheriff (SAS), absolving him of Boko Haram connections and praising his choice as the new PDP Chairman. Ali Modu Sheriif has been a controversial figure in the NE particularly and in the Nigerian polity in general. Most of these are linked to various allegations of his Boko Haram connections from different sources at different times. Below is a short synopsis of various evidences used to back-up allegations of SAS's Boko Haram connections: 1. Mr. Sheriff’s alleged link with Boko Haram dates back to his days as governor of Borno between 2003 and 2011. 2. Goodluck Jonathan, in April 2003, called SAS a friend of Mohammed Yusuf, founder of Boko Haram. As commander-in-chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, President Jonathan regularly has access to a multiplicity of security reports, and many believed he spoke from a position of knowledge at the time. See video evidence and transcript below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBfdhzYaABA GEJ: … Bunkers in Maiduguri or Borno state. Why should the bunkers come? Who wants to send bunkers to Borno state. There are too many APCs (armoured personnel carriers). Why should there be APCs in Borno state? Who wants to send APcs to Borno state? We are talking about soldiers. There are some people even saying JTF should go. Who wants to spend money paying allowances of soldiers for God-sake. We need money for development. If the circumstances that brought the soldiers are no longer there, that day, they will all leave. [Audience clap clap clap] They were not in Borno state in 2001, 2002, 2003, up to 2009. Probably that is when ehnn this man was killed, and that was the beginning of crises. Ehn ehn, what is the name of ehn ehn governor Sheriff’s friend? [Audience clapped, laughed and echoed Yusuf]. When Yusuf was killed, that was the beginning of the crisis… 3. In 2003, Australian negotiator with Boko Haram, Dr. Stephen Davies named SAS as one of the Boko Haram sponsors in 2014. 4. A leaked security intelligence dispatch obtained by Premium Times also suggested Mr. Sheriff has link with the Boko Haram sect. The memo claimed Mr. Sheriff personally oversaw the training and deployment of fighters from the Abeche region in Chad. In Abeche, Mr. Sheriff operated from the lodge of the Chadian President, Idris Deby, the memo claimed. After joining the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] in July 2014, Mr. Sheriff became a close ally of President Jonathan, and top leaders of the ruling party thereby enjoings state protection. After the Australian negotiator, working with the Nigerian government, Stephen Davis, also claimed that the sect’s top members told him Mr. Sheriff was a key sponsor of their activities, on December 16, the SSS exonerated Mr. Sheriff after it paraded six men – including a former special assistant to current Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima. The SSS claimed the suspects admitted fabricating the scenarios the Australian negotiator relied on to make his claims. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/174000-video-shows-president-jonathan-linking-ex-borno-governor-ali-modu-sheriff-boko-haram.html 5. Senators Zanna and Sheriff have traded bitter exchanges over Boko Haram connections: These are just tips of the iceberg. This article is to keep in focus reasons for the outrage following SAS' announcement as the new PDP Chairman before the narrative is lost due to politicking. When a lie is told consistently, it starts becoming the truth. I reckon there are more documented pieces of evidence but these should make for a good discussion. Please add more if you have come across such. Thank You and God Bless. 45 Likes 8 Shares |

Well researched and concise arguments The speech by ex peresident- GEJ confirms what most of us suspect. The sponsors and navigators of Boko Haram are senior PDP officials. The PDP sponsored BH to make the north unstable in the hope that the 2015 elections will not take place. Remember that Dasuki went to London where he gave a speech indicating that Nigeria was not ready for the Presidential elections because of the instability in the North. We now have information and evidence that the PDP deliberately under funded the military and diverted public money to their political associates after the plan to postpone the elections failed. It is now even clearer that the sponsors of Boko Haram have now taken over the leadership of the PDP. The strategy employed here is that the emergence of the Islamist - Sheriff will divide the allegiance of the North. What they fail to realise is this- Buhari is a demi-god in the North! Apart from the Late Sarduana of Sokoto, no Northern Politician/administrator has been able to command the level of respect and TRUST among the core Northern populace like Buhari has been able to. This is because of his characteristics of piety, modesty, humility and trust worthiness - which are the qualities they aspire to and respect. The selection of Sheriff as party leader is a result of having greedy, short sighted, unpatriotic people like Olisa Metuh as the chief strategists of the dying party. It is desperation and it stinks! 64 Likes 9 Shares |

Proudlyngwa: I couldn't believe that Tonyebarcanista and others would come on a public forum like this and attempt to whitewash SAS without any evidence or counter evidence. Let us even hazard that SAS has never met Boko Haram. It is a massive PR goof for PDP to select a man of with such baggage as its Chairman in a time when it is in dire need of reforms. cc: Modath, Fastshipping, Ngeneukwenu, Arresa, 0079jaBond, modath, danzelle, onims44, ColeworldMD, Objectives, Gbemmyxal, spinoff, Sharmeenator, Johnpaul88, MuhdG, blacksta, arewafederation, L0nestar, coolhamid, damola1, ibknaanii, jjpp1, master2, Bosville, kestolove95, Missy89, amuniiopz, patrickmuf, thaoriginator, goalburner, sureguy02, tejpot, jukaizer, cigie, Easy5265, CaptainAmerica1, leo083, hahn, danjumakolo, XYZ123, yyb14, yomalex, Lalasticlala, munex007, 1LRNZH, DaBullIT, trillville, iseyinoro, decode55, sharkhead, priestken1, Trafficjam11, PassingShot, Caseless, TemiTemi, FireFire 12 Likes |

Truth be told PMB isn't showing signs he's an ex-Gen. Who dares disrupts the government of OBJ? I trust OBJ, all these SAS, Metuh, Dasuki etc would be in jail now. I don't even know which one is better between military rule and democracy. In one word, govt is f**ked, be it military or civilian. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Iroh88: I hope Lalasticlala sees the point. Nigerians' consciousness has been weakened by this halo that surrounds public figures once they get recognised in one way or the other. The gravity of the accusations is enough to ruin any political party's chances in saner countries. Here, people are writing articles to hail such appointments. 5 Likes |

Not bothered one bit, when they say it must be Jonathan it didn't concern me because I'm certain he's the party's bane. Now it's SAS, I am glad it's him, this decision will further accelerate the enervation that kickstarted when the buffoon is voted out. |
