Boko Haram Alleged Sponsor, Sheriff, In Closed Door Meeting With Jonathan In Aso Rock

The man Femi Fani-Kayode said made him to leave the APC,
as he is the "known creator" of Boko Haram is now in the
same PDP with Fani-Kayode and the man is now President
Goodluck Jonathan's friend.
Ex-Governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff came out of a
meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Aso Rock
presidential villa on Friday, declaring that his decision to join
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was in the interest of
Nigeria as a nation.
“The president of Nigeria is president for everybody. He is the
president for the over 170 Million Nigerians and he is the
father of everybody. So, every Nigerian has the right to see
him, on matters that are either of private concern or anything
that affects the nation. So, my coming to visit the president
was purely on personal grounds. Yes, there is this issue that I
might join the PDP, but that was not the discussion that
brought me,” he said.
He also suggested that to end insurgency in Borno State and
contain the activities of the dreaded Boko Haram sect, a
perfect understanding of the terrain and political knowledge
of the state was necessary.
Speaking with state house correspondents after the meeting,
Sheriff claimed he is a strong politician in Borno.
Asked to further on why he was abandoning his party, the
APC, Sheriff said, “Our interest should be on what makes the
nation move forward. My decisions will be guided by the
interests of the nation first. My thinking of moving to the PDP
is also in the interest of the nation. We believe that every
time, as a leader who leads people, you should advise them on
the right course of action.”
