Congress, APC, has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of exhibiting a shocking
act of indiscretion by hobnobbing with an alleged Boko Haram sponsor, Ali Modu
Sheriff, who is not known to have been investigated and cleared of the weighty
allegation against him. In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party wondered what message President Jonathan was
sending to his compatriots and indeed to the international community when he
took Modu Sheriff along during his visit to Chad Monday to confer with
President Idriss Deby on cooperation against terrorism.‘’This action by
President Jonathan confirms what the APC has always believed: That the
President either knows more than he is willing to admit on the issue of those
who are behind the Boko Haram insurgency or he is willing to sacrifice the
battle against terrorism on the altar of political expediency. Either way, this
action by the President is the height of indiscretion at best, or a palpable
exhibition of callowness at worst.‘’It also confirms our fears that Modu
Sheriff was planted as a mole in the APC by his friends in high places, who are
jittery about the birth of the party and would do anything to destabilize it,’’
it said.APC said the President could not pretend not to be aware of a report sent
home by Nigeria’s Defence Adviser in Ndjamena, Chad, in 2011, detailing the
suspicious activities of Modu Sheriff in Chad concerning alleged Boko Haram
sponsorship and asking the Federal Government to investigate him.‘’If this is a
joke, it is one joke taken too far, especially at a time that Nigeria has been
losing territories after territories to Boko Haram; at a time that the same
Modu Sheriff has been fingered by another source other than the Nigerian
Defence Adviser in Chad, and at a time that calls are being made for an
independent investigation into the allegation that Modu Sheriff and former Army
Chief Azubuike Ihejirika are Boko Haram sponsors.‘’Or could it be the case of
it takes a thief to catch a thief?’’ it queried

Jonathan is a desperado, he doesn't care what happens to any Nigerian provided he wins election come 2015 . God will judge him.
