Nigeria’s former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, who recently dumped the All Progressive Congress (APC) for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has said that Boko Haram is the armed wing of the opposition party, who is trying to make the country ungovernable.
Speaking this morning, June 30 on Channels TV’s breakfast show, Sunrise Daily, Fani-Kayode accused APC’s leaders of being supportive and sympathetic of the dreaded sect as it suits their purpose of destabilizing the country and discrediting the PDP led government.
When asked if he has evidence, Fani-Kayode said one should take a look at the utterances of some APC leaders and there you’d find the evidence. He cited the statement of Gen Buhari, a former
head of state who said that the country would be ungovernable if the Presidency did not return to the North.
He said that Buhari had openly attempted to spread Sharia to all States of the Federation before, and that his objective back then now “tallies with the objective of Boko Haram.”
"Look at the comments of somebody like General Buhari, who was once Head of State in this country. Just last year, he said that Boko Haram should be granted amnesty, that Boko Haram should be treated with kid gloves, that Boko Haram should be treated in the same way as the Niger Delta militants (that is to say they should be sent abroad, paid a monthly salary and so forth) and that they should not be killed," Fani said.
According to him, if you look at the things happening in Nigeria, it is obvious that Nigeria is a nation at war and the solution is not to start fighting the government of the day.
Fani-Kayode had been known to attack Jonathan’s government until recently when things turned around and he became a supporter of Jonathan’s government. Not long ago he said he was going to reveal APC’s secret if they don’t stop attacking him.
