Hand Sheriff, Ihejerika over to ICC, APC tells Jonathan

National Chairman, All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun

The All Progressives Congress has challenged President Goodluck Jonathan to arrest and hand over former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff and former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Azubuike Ihejerika, to the International Criminal Court.

National Chairman of the APC, John Oyegun, gave the challenge on Tuesday, at a media briefing in Abuja.

He spoke on the partys stand on a recent revelation by a Federal Government appointed negotiator that the duo were among sponsors of the terrorist group.

According to Oyegun, the truth about the seemingly intractable insurrection is finally out and the APC had been vindicated.

He explained that it was now clear that contrary to an orchestrated plot by the ruling party and officials of government, the APC has no hand in the Boko Haram insurgency.

Oyegun said, The sponsors of Boko Haram are within the PDP and the Presidency. They are known friends of President Jonathan. He knows them and they know him.

The man who exposed these Boko Haram sponsors is a Jonathan-appointed negotiator. He has no axe to grind, neither does he have any motive to shield the APC or portray the PDP Presidency in bad light. In fact, if he had any sympathy at all, it is for the man who hired him-President Jonathan.

We have said it all along. Boko Haram was politicised purely for one reason, and one reason only: To be used as a trump card for President Jonathan to win another term.

The party said in a desperate bid to make this strategy work, the PDP which sees the APC as the only stumbling block to its victory in 2015, has employed the tactic of maligning and labeling it.

APC, PDP supporters clash in Oyo

Supporters of the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party in Oyo State clashed at the popular Aleshinloye Market in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Sunday over drilling of borehole for the traders.

The market was recently gutted by fire.

Apart from the State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, who promised to help the traders financially, other notable people in the state visited the traders and promised to help them. One of them was PDP governorship aspirant, Seyi Makinde, who said he would drill a borehole for the market to forestall future occurrence.

Makinde made good his promise by starting the project, but on Sunday, workers at the site of the project were allegedly attacked by some people, who also blocked the 70-foot borehole with stones and pebbles.

The attackers were alleged to have been sponsored by the Chairman of the South-West council area of the state, Mr. Taoheed Adeleke, under whose council the market falls. Eyewitnesses said hoodlums came in large numbers with cutlasses and other weapons.

The chairman, however, denied being involved in the attack, when he spoke with our correspondent on Monday.

Traders who spoke with our correspondent expressed dissatisfaction over the development.

Chairman of Fancy Section of the market, Mr. Rahman Olabamiji, said, Yesterday (Sunday), Makinde brought an engine and started work on the borehole without demanding money from us. They were about to finish the borehole when some people stormed the market with weapons and blocked the borehole.

In his response, Adeleke said, The council was given an order by the governor to drill a borehole for the market and we chose a site. On Sunday, we went there to clear the debris, but found out that someone had instructed an engineer to drill another borehole at the market. When we could not identify the initiator, we invited the police who sent them away. We later got the news that Makinde was the initiator and I wondered why he did not inform us that he was doing such a project in the market. Nobody was attacked and no one went there with weapons. It was all lies.
