PDP Wants Those Tagging Its Chairman, Modu Sherrif A Boko Haram Sponsor To Provide Evidence

The national auditor of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adewole Adeyanju, has condemned allegations that the new national chairman of the PDP, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has links with the Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East.

Adeyanju, in a statement said the allegations were raised by faceless people as part of plots to discredit PDP before Nigerians and the international community.

“It is being erroneously speculated in some quarters that our new national chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff is a Boko Haram sponsor. Let those speculating this, come out with concrete evidence and if they don’t have one, they should keep quiet and stop spreading such dangerous rumour.”

“We are very much aware that some elements are jittery over PDP’s decision to pick him as its new 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 it had done to a serving Senator in the National Assembly during the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, the trial is still in progress. They can see PDP’s star rising high again in the northern parts of the country.’’
