Former Borno State Governor, Ali-Modu Sheriff, has distanced himself from 2023 presidential campaign posters in circulation in some parts of the country.
Sheriff said the presidential campaign posters were the handiwork of mischief-makers.
The former lawmaker vowed to institute legal action against those behind the circulation of the campaign posters.
He spoke in a statement signed by his Media Director of Media and Publicity, Babandede Isa.
“It has come to the notice of Senator Ali-Modu Sheriff, a former two-term governor of Borno that a serving senator has again, started his propaganda war, insinuating and making up infantile allegations against him.
“This is especially with regards to campaign posters in circulation purporting that Sheriff is running for the presidency in 2023 with a popular politician from the South-South.
“We are fully aware that the serving senator is behind the circulation of the posters and recent propaganda against Sheriff.
“The public should disregard the posters and other allegations against Sheriff that he is into arms dealing because there is no iota of truth in it.
“The posters and allegations against Sheriff should be seen as efforts of a mischief-maker trying to insinuate what is not correct.
“If Ali-Modu Sheriff wants to contest the presidency in 2023, he will be bold to tell Nigerians of his intention and seek their support without going through the back door or doing so by proxy,“ it added.
