Fani-Kayode said this in
reaction to a statement credited to Sheriff that he begged the former Borno
State Governor after declaring him as the face of Boko Haram.
The former Minister of
Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has declared the disputed National Chairman
of the People’s Democratic Party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, as a liar and a
curse to PDP as a party.
Sheriff had on a Channels
TV programme alleged that Fani-Kayode had begged him after the statement.
But Fani-Kayode in an email
statement sent to The Eagle Online late on Sunday, described Sheriff as a liar.
He said he never begged him
over the issue as claimed on the television programme.
Rather, he said he remains
happy that he was one of those who saw Sheriff for who he was and quickly opposed
his leadership of the PDP.
Fani-Kayode, who was the
spokesperson of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation for the 2015 general
election, wrote in the two part email to The Eagle Online: “Lying Ali Modu
Sheriff told Channels TV that I sent people to beg him for claiming that he was
Boko Haram.
“These are the lies of a
desperate and drowning man.
“He came to destroy the PDP
and if we did not rise up against him and kick him out when we did he would
have succeeded in his mission.
“I am proud to have been
the first to see him for what he is and to publicly blow the whistle on him.
“I was one of those that
led the rebellion against him and orchestrated the campaign to push him out and
dump him as the National Chairman of our party and many have thanked me for
that including some of those that brought him in the first place and attempted
to impose him on us.
“The man is of the devil
and no-one should believe a word that comes out of his mouth or take him
seriously.
“He is a curse to the PDP
and the sooner he is kicked out of the party the better it is for us all.
“Lying Ali Modu Sheriff has
changed political parties no less than five times in the last few years.
“Each time he goes to a new
party that is not in power at the center he assumes the role of a government
mole and spy and tries to destroy it from within on behalf of the government of
the day.
“That is his modus
operandi.
“On return he gets
protection from the state for all the many atrocities he has committed over the
years.
“He has betrayed everyone
and every political party he has ever worked with or for.
“Go and ask around.
“We used him to spy on and
destroy the APP when Obasanjo was in power and now Buhari is using him to
destroy the PDP.
“Luckily he has failed
because 99 per cent of PDP members have rejected him and now he is on his own.
“He failed in his evil
mission and now he is making noise like a chicken or snake whose head has been
cut off.
“Unlike him I am consistent
in my views and I am as constant as the northern star.
“It is a matter of good
breeding.
“With me you will always
know where you stand and I will always speak my mind no matter whose ox is
gored.
“He is the opposite.
“He pretends to be a friend
and a loyalist when his real plan is to stab you in the back and kill you on
the night. He does not have the courage to be loyal to any cause, any person or
any political party.
“He is more of a gangster
than a politician and everyone knows it.He comes into another man’s house or
political party and tries to pull it down by deceit and guile.
“He is a vessel of
destruction that is the man who some misguided people believe can be trusted.
“He was in APP, then ANPP,
then APC and now he is in PDP all in a matter of a few years and everywhere he
goes he fights everyone until they get tired of him and push him out.
“If anyone wants to talk
about ‘changing goal posts’ it should certainly not be him.”
