I’m a victim, not sponsor of Boko Haram, Ali Modu Sheriff tells APC
…FORMER Borno State Governor, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff,
yesterday, scolded the All Progressives Congress and the Australian
negotiator, Dr. Stephen Davies for linking him with the sponsorship of
Boko Haram activities in Nigeria.
Addressing a world press
conference in Abuja, Sherriff lamented that he was wrongly linked with
the violent group, as he had no relationship whatsoever with the sect.
The former governor lamented that he was rather a victim of the sect,
which did not only kill his brother, Alhaji Goni Mustapha Sheriff, but
also took the lives of his brother-in- law, Alhaji Awana Ngala; the 2011
gubernatorial candidate, Engr. Modu Gubioa and his bosom friends,
Alhaji Mustapha Fulawama and Bukar Goni Kolo, among others.
Sherriff, who distanced himself from the activities of Boko Haram,
pointed out that he never met the late leader and founder of the group
before he was arrested and killed in circumstances that were being
investigated by security agencies.
He said: “It may interest you to
know that it was the government of my predecessor in office, the late
Alhaji Mala Kachallah that introduced Sharia Law in the state in the
year 2000.
“Interestingly, the late Mohammed Yusuf, leader of
the Boko Haram sect was a member of the Committee, among other Islamic
scholars.
“If indeed there was an agreement between the sect and my
predecessor on the issue of Sharia Implementation, I am not aware of it,
as I was neither in government then nor was I a party to it.
“Let me state categorically at this point that I do not share the
ideology of the Boko Haram sect, which is against western education,
western culture and modern science or any other sect with similar
ideology.
Sherriff threatened to sue the APC and the Australian,
Davies for making the allegation against him, without sending his
so-called findings to the Federal Government, which he claimed hired him
to do the job.
He wondered why the report of his findings
should first be aired on Arise Television only instead of being
presented to the Federal Government for consideration.
Sherriff
said: “”It is rather curious that the campaign against me is becoming
more stringent at the time I decided to take Borno into mainstream
national politics by joining the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
