Ali Modu Sheriff, The Poll Shift and The
Chad Billions Boko Haram Contract
Meetings between the president of
Nigeria, Ali Modu Sheriff and the
President of Chad decided the freakish
junction Nigeria traversed this
weekend.
Modu Sheriff is behind the
postponement of the February general
election date; he is bigger than you,
than Jega, than me, than all 168 million
Nigerians and I have evidence...
For most of us, we only just realized
that the president of Nigeria was
determined to shift the general
elections till he and his hired Chadian
and South African mercenaries scored
his eleventh hour victory over Boko
Haram. INEC chair Jega only received
the security update indicating the
mission decided upon to liberate the
northeast at all cost ahead of the
general elections on the 5th of
February. That was when most of us
including the administrators of Borno
first found this out, but not so for Modu
Sheriff.
I will like to refer you to an article I
published in several media on the 22nd
of January this year, captioned, “From
Borno: the State of Nigeria’s IDPs.” I
quote:
“The opposition is accusing the state
government of using human lives for
political gains. The state government
has been pushing IDP voting, while the
opposition governor interestingly
promised that he (the Federal
Government) will soon liberate the local
governments occupied by Boko Haram
to allow the people go home and vote
from there. How and when Sheriff
intends to do so is not
known.” [ENDS/22/01/2015]
That has been the political battle line in
the northeast. The information here I
obtained a while before I wrote that
article. Borno locals, cut off from the
rest of us can attest to this fact that
Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has been
confidently promising them that their
areas will be liberated before the
general elections and they will “vote
from home.”
Loosing political clout in his home state
– with him being shunned, booed and
stoned at all recent visits – this has been
Modu Sheriff’s only card left and the
card he has been playing with both
hands.
“You will be liberated before the
elections and you will vote from your
villages.”
There was no way this promise and
calculation could be possible without a
preplanned shift in the election dates
because the MoU with Chad—hired for
billions to liberate Nigeria’s northeast
was just signed a day ago. And the new
military hardware for the war only
started being offloaded days ago. The
100 mercenaries Jonathan chartered
from South Africa to help in the
expedited mission to liberate the
northeast ahead of the elections also
just arrived.
I additionally have more evidence
including a government produced
recording made just this February and
published February 5th which clearly
stated that Borno would be liberated
“ahead of the elections,” while Yobe
may wait till after.
Idriss Deby of Chad was contracted by
the Nigerian government and signed a
fat deal with Jonathan to clear out the
northeast on behalf of Nigeria, ahead of
the new date to be set for the general
elections so Modu Sheriff could keep his
promise to the hapless electorate and as
he hoped — win some grounds out of
their desperation, and also so he can
keep his promise to deliver the
northeast to president Goodluck
Jonathan.
While speaking on the MoU with Chad,
Nigeria’s Defense chiefs were asked by
the ChannelsTV how Nigeria addressed
Chad’s unusual withdrawal from the
MNJTF last November, the action which
permitted Boko Haram to massacre
over 2500 defenseless Nigerians at
Baga; and the defense chief Alex Badeh
said without a care, “We have gone
beyond that one now, we have signed
MoU’s after... I don’t want to revisit
that one, let’s leave it.” [ChannelsTV

It is all about politics and Modu Sheriff
just played you. We do thank God for
whatever reason and regardless of the
dirty plots and games; the northeast will
be liberated at the end of the day (like it
was in the middle of last year before
they again allowed Boko Haram take it
over to retain the terror situation
political capital advantage). Thereafter
Nigeria must make the necessary steps
to CHANGE the system that puts politics,
named terror sponsors and foreign
incriminated governments and all their
pockets and political ambitions and
business interests ahead of its people.
