MEMBERS of Yerwa-Oodua socio-economic Society, yesterday kicked against the imposition of Alhaji Mohammed Imam as candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Borno State for the 2015 governorship election.

The group, which is a union of concerned indigenes of Borno State in the South-West said the choice of Imam as the PDP governorship candidate gives worry for the future of the state.

The group, which said it was not affiliated to any political party, accused the former governor of the state, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff for allegedly imposing Imam on the PDP.

Addressing newsmen yesterday in Lagos, secretary of the group, Mr Haruna Wamdio said “Our new worry is the future of our state. We know the developments going on in Borno state and we are all full of hope that the problems will one day end if our leaders in the state remain committed as they are now.”

Wamdio noted that the group will support any of the political parties that wins next year’s election adding that “in the event anyone of them wins, Borno will have a good future.”

He said “as we speak, the former governor of Borno state, Senator Modu Sheriff has imposed on the PDP someone that is unfit in any way to be governor of Borno state even in normal times not to talk of the critical time Borno has found itself.”
