Ali Modu Sheriff killed Boko Haram founder so he wouldn’t expose him – Fani Kayode

Former publicity boss of the Goodluck/Sambo presidential campaign, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has reiterated that Ali Modu Sheriff is the worst character to pilot the affairs of the PDP at this time.

On a ChannelsTv program on Sunday, Fani-Kayode cited Sheriff’s dalliance with terrorist sect Boko Haram as one reason why he shouldn’t lead the party.

He said Sheriff had a hand in the death of Boko Haram founder, Mohammed Yusuf, who was well on his way to revealing his sponsors and backers before he was killed in army custody in 2009.

Quoting an unnamed friend who now oversees the affairs of Kaduna State, Fani Kayode said only an investigation into those who were responsible for Yusuf’s death will reveal the sponsors of Boko Haram.

The former aviation minister reiterated that Modu Sheriff put together Boko Haram and funded the deadly sect to meet political aims before it metamorphosed into the monster it now is.

He said former ministers and ex top government officials who are PDP members will meet on Tuesday in Abuja to take a common position on Ali Modu Sheriff as PDP chairman.

Fani Kayode said handing over the position of PDP chairman to someone as tainted as Sheriff makes a complete mockery of the rebuilding and reformation attempts of the biggest opposition party in the land.
