Video : President Jonathan linking Modu-sheriff to Boko Haram

All this pre-election war tactics between APC and PDP.... i just pray that there will be no bloodshed after the 2015 elections.

A video of president GEJ condemning and associating former Borno governor/APC member now PDP member,Ali modu-sheriff to Boko Haram. In the video shot in April 2013, during a visit the president made to Borno state, he is heard describing Sheriff, who was then a member of the opposition All Progressives Congress [APC] as a "friend" of Mohammed Yusuf, the man who founded and led Boko Haram for years.

Below is a transcript of his statements;

... Bunkers in Maiduguri or Borno state. Why should the bunkers come? Who wants to send bunkers to Borno state. There are too many APCs (armoured personnel carriers). Why should there be APCs in Borno state? Who wants to send APcs to Borno state? We are talking about soldiers.

There are some people even saying JTF should go. Who wants to spend money paying allowances of soldiers for God-sake. We need money for development.

 If the circumstances that brought the soldiers are no longer there, that day, they will all leave. [Audience - clap clap clap]

They were not in Borno state in 2001, 2002, 2003, up to 2009. Probably that is when ehnn this man was killed, and that was the beginning of crises.

Ehn ehn, what is the name of ehn ehn governor Sheriff's friend?[Audience clapped, laughed and echoed Yusuf].

When Yusuf was killed, that was the beginning of the crisis...
