A former Governor of Borno State, Senator Modu Sheriff, on Monday, said
he has nothing to do with the arms-laden plane detained at the Mallam Aminu
Kano International Airport, Kano.
Sheriff, in a statement made available to journalists in Maiduguri, said
a report linking him with the plane was sponsored by his political enemies
looking for ways to drag him in the mud to gain political edge in the fight for
the soul of Borno State.
He said his attention was drawn to a publication linking him with a
secret visit to the airport.
The former governor said, “I read the report with consternation, much as
I felt scandalised to be linked again to an issue I absolutely knew nothing
about. For me, the publication has a ring of a conspiracy meant to drag my name
in the mud.”
“I, hereby, use this means to say to my adversaries anywhere they may be
that their evil motives to soil my name and hard-earned reputation will not
stand. Those who are drawn into the conspiracy to hack me down under any guise
will always fail as I am certain that they will continue to get soaked in the
whirlpool of self-delusion and hopelessness.
“Indeed, I dare anyone who said he saw me at the airport having anything
to do with the detained aircraft to produce evidence.”
