Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has alluded to the new national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as a Boko Haram sponsor.
The former President, who reacted to Tuesday’s emergence of Senator Ali Modu Sherrif as PDP’s new National Chairman, tweeted: “Let us have a minute of silence for PDP. I don’t expect anything else than this, not even when Ayo Fayose and Olisa Metuh are the microphone of the party.
“May the days ahead bring forth a better opposition party for Nigeria that does not have a Boko Haram sponsor as its National Chairman.”
Obasanjo advised the country’s youths to be wary of politicians, saying that they must accept themselves irrespective of their political beliefs.
He observed that while youths are busy fighting for PDP and APC, “politicians and leaders are busy inserting figures in the nation’s budget.”
Obasanjo noted that if the country is to get things right, Nigerian youths, either in APC or PDP, must unite against enemies of the masses, as unity is a strong force to win the battle. [myad]
