…Insists mineral exploitation cause of terror in North
SHARON OSAJI FROM PUNCH
A former Director of the Presidential Campaign Council of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Hajia Naja’atu Mohammed, has fired her former party alleging that its vice presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima is a sponsor of terrorism.
The former APC chieftain said this during a television interview on Arise Television.
She further revealed that a notorious terrorist, Kabiru Sokoto, was back then found and arrested in the home of the former Borno State governor turned vice presidential candidate.
The PUNCH had earlier reported that Naja’atu resigned from her appointment with the APC and Tinubu’s campaign train weeks to the February 25 polls.
She said recent developments in the political and democratic space had prompted her leaving and made it impossible for her to continue participating in party politics.
However, Tinubu’s campaign council countered her resignation claim, saying that she was sacked for being a mole in the campaign team.
Further harnessing her reason for leaving the ruling party, Naja’atu said, “Especially as it concerns security, you must have an enabling environment before you do anything, so you cannot take someone that is virtually senile and another person that has been associated on several occasions with funding terrorism. That is Kashim Shettima.
“We should not forget Kabiru Sokoto, one of the most wanted terrorists, was found and arrested in his (Shettima) house.
“These are people that have severally being accused of habouring terrorists and why should Shettima be visiting and making solidarity with a policeman that is being tried for drug trafficking. Why?” She questioned.
“So when you begin to put these things together, you begin to understand why Nigerians must retrieve their country. We can’t allow this to happen,” Naja’atu added.
