Stop Labeling Sheriff As Boko Haram Sponsor- PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned against labeling its new national chairman, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as “Boko Haram Sponsor.”
The party said whoever has concrete evidence should prove or stop spreading such dangerous rumour.

A statement yesterday by PDP national auditor, Alhaji Adewole Adeyanju said the allegation that Sheriff was romancing with Boko Haram is a plot to discredit the party before Nigerians and the international community.

The party appealed to all well-meaning Nigerians and the international community to ignore the new antics of the enemies who it said is bent on truncating the party’s chances of reclaiming federal power in 2019.

“We are very much aware that some elements are jittery over PDP’s decision to pick him as its national chairman and the only way out for them is to label him as Boko Haram sponsor,” the party said.

Why FG Will Not Sponsor Delegation For 2015 Hajj

In his bid to reduce the cost of governance, President Muhammadu Buhari announced yesterday that there will be no federal government delegation to the 2015 pilgrimage in Mecca.

He said states should take the responsibility of appointing their delegation as the federal government will not get itself involved in the process, adding that the decision is for both procedural and economic reasons and not one aimed at any group or individual.

Senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, who revealed this in a statement yesterday, noted that Buhari is strongly convinced that the decision will save the country about one $1 million and N30 million in local expenses.

“The states can deal with that (meaning appointment of own delegations) but this year, at the centre, we will not be involved,” Shehu quoted the president as saying.

He noted, however, that government will carry out its duty to Nigerians on the annual pilgrimage by extending to them consular, medical and welfare support as is expected of it.

The presidential spokesman further said the president reassured that government would not fail in its obligations to the citizens on pilgrimage in spite of the absence of a government delegation.
