Critics Slam Jonathan For Travelling With Modu Sherif

For the umpteenth time, President Goodluck Jonathan has come under severe criticism from Nigerians on his actions and in action over the spate of terrorism in the country.

The latest condemnation is over Jonathan’s decision to travel to Chad with the former Governor of Borno State, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, who was recently accused by Australian negotiator, Dr. Stephen Davis, of sponsoring Boko Haram sect.

Many Nigerians on social media on Tuesday, 9 September, 2014, condemned Jonathan, who was in Ndjamena, capital of Chad on Monday to discuss with Chadian president, Idriss Deby on Boko Haram related issues, for allowing Sheriff, who was named a financier of the terrorist sect, to be among the team that followed him to Chad.
While Sheriff has denied the allegations and threatened to sue Davis,many Nigerians however, wondered how the president could involve the former governor in the talk on how to end the activities of the terrorist sect when he has not been cleared of the alleged crime.

Commenting on a post that relate to the matter on Facebook, Adeniyi Farotimi said: “Sheriff has really gone far with his new found home with the presidency. He even followed the president to Chad. Why would Sherif, alleged to be sponsoring Boko Haram, accompany him to Chad? For what? I believe members of Boko Haram are in our government. What happened to the Army Generals for having a link with Boko Haram. I weep for this country.”
