Youths in the northern part of Nigeria under the aegis of Northern
Youths Movement (NYM) have said that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP
will remain in crisis as long as Senator Ali Modu Sheriff and Ogun
State Senator, Buruji Kashamu remained in the party.
The NYM in a statement signed by its Chairman, Mallam Ishaya Jato
alleged that the both Sheriff and Kashamu were agents of the Governor
of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and Minister of Transport,
Rotimi Amaechi, and were working to achieve El-Rufai and Amaechi’s
presidential and vice presidential ambition in 2019.
The youths said Buruji Kashamu was dancing to the tune of El-Rufai and
Amaechi because the duo have promised to save him from being
extradited to the United States of America to face trial for alleged
drug trafficking.
The NYM noted that the court had assisted the PDP by nullifying the
party’s constitutional amendment that brought Sheriff as National
Chairman and restrained him from parading himself as the chairman.
It called on leaders of the party to expel the former Borno State
governor and Senator Buruji Kashamu from the PDP is they desired peace
in the party.
The youths, who lamented that Nigerians, especially youths in the
northern part of the country were looking up to the PDP to save the
country from the mis-governance of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
said PDP must put its house in order in the interest of Nigerians.
The group said Buruji Kashamu is afraid of being extradited to the USA
to face trial for alleged drug trafficking while Sheriff is afraid of being tried for alleged involvement in Boko Haram activities and for these reasons, they are ready to do anything to kill the PDP for
El-Rufai and Amaechi.
