Embattled factional chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ali Modu Sheriff has lamented that former President Goodluck Jonathan’s failure to listen to him was the reason the PDP lost power in Borno and Yobe states.
Sheirff blamed Jonathan for the party’s loss in both states., explaining that the former President ignored his intentions during the polls.
Sheriff disclosed this to journalists at a news conference in Abuja on Friday.
”Yobe and Borno are one and they will remain forever. I am following the trend of events in Yobe very well and I believe that PDP should never have lost Yobe at all,” he said.
”If the then president, Jonathan, had listened properly and we did what we had intended to do, by now we would have had the two states — Borno and Yobe.
”But unfortunately, whatever God decides, we will accept it and we cannot do otherwise.”
