We’ll sack Modu Sheriff no matter what it takes –Fani Kayode

The ripples generated over the appointment of Ali Modu Sheriff as Chairman of PDP is yet to settle especially with allegations making the rounds that the new chairman is the founder of the dreaded Boko Haram group.

The newly installed chairman who is not taking the accusation lightly said those pointing fingers at him as the founder of Boko Haram especially Femi Fani-Kayode “will not go scot free” while also threatening to take anyone to court over the allegation.

Reacting to the threat, former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode who was addressing journalists moments before the opening session of PDP Former Ministers’ Forum on Tuesday in Abuja said; “First of all, my first question is who is he? Who is Ali Modu Sheriff? Is he a Nigerian or a Chadian? Or is he both? That’s the first thing. The second thing is that you come in as National Chairman or claim you are National Chairman and that you want to move a party forward and the first thing you do is start issuing threats which I think is unacceptable and nobody is intimidated.

“The fact of the matter is this; He wants to set Nigeria on fire. He also wants to set the PDP on fire and that fire will consume him and him alone. As regards his personal threat to me, I am more than ready for him. I am waiting for him and I assure him that unlike anybody that he has ever met before in his life, he will meet a resistance that he never banked on. I am not intimidated. I cannot be intimidated and I will quote Shakespeare for you.

“In Macbeth, he said something which I have always found very interesting. He said I shall fight until the flesh is hard for my bone and damn be he who fist cries oh in this issue. We will remove him. We will ensure that he does not remain National Chairman because he has divided this party.” he said.
