‘Northern members of the APC were behind Boko Haram’ – Fani Kayode

Former All Progressives Congress member and, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has once again told the APC to come out clean and explain their alleged relationship with insurgency group, Boko Haram.

He told the Reporters at Osogbo, Osun State capital, after a People’s Democratic Party rally in the state yesterday and said that the APC were trying to controvert him, few months ago.

Kayode went on to say that the northern members of the APC were behind Boko Haram, he said: “The APC in the North is the political wing of Boko Haram in the northern part of Nigeria. This, I have said before and no one among them was bold enough to challenge me. I will continue to say it again and again. The northern elements in the APC have to explain to all Nigerians why some of their leaders in the North supports, encourage and defend Boko Haram members.

“No member of the APC has been bold enough to controvert what I said about their relationship with the Boko Haram members in the North. I stand to be challenged if any of them has a contrary view.”

FFK had only just a couple of months earlier changed party from the APC to the PDP, after Jonathan and highly placed members of the PDP had assured him of an enabling stay in the ruling party.

He then promised to work to assure that his party wins the governorship election in Osun State and the general elections in 2015.

When questioned about his closed door secret meeting with the president, FFK said: “I will not like to reveal what we discussed in the secret. It was a closed- door meeting and let us leave that for now.”

 FFK had been in the PDP during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s regime as the then Minister of Aviation.

He had later campaigned heavily against Jonathan, criticizing the president every step and fight against the terrorist sect Boko Haram.
