Fani-Kayode: ‘No harm must come to him,’ Osun group warns Ali Modu Sheriff

The warning comes after Sheriff threatened that Fani-Kayode would not go scot free for linking him with Boko Haram.

The Osun Ibile Forum has warned Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff to ensure that no harm comes to former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode.

The warning comes after Sheriff threatened that Fani-Kayode would not go scot free for linking him with Boko Haram.

The group’s comments were contained in a statement released by its Coordinator, Prince Adeoluwa Adesegun.

It reads:

“We are using this opportunity to warn that nothing untoward should happen to one of our leaders, Chief Oluwafemi Fani-Kayode.”

“The former minister is a committed party man and he has every right to defend the credibility of his party. There is nothing on earth that should warrant a direct personal threat to a public figure like Fani-Kayode.”

“For us on this forum, we stand by Chief Fani-Kayode and we say it loud and clear that we uphold his fight for justice, credibility and due process in the reform of the PDP. He is a man known for speaking his mind and most of the time, he speaks the truth many are afraid of saying.”

“If truly Senator Sheriff is a statesman, why should he issue a threat as strong as that against a party man? At a time he should be pursuing reconciliation, is it right for the chairman to engage in an open brawl? PDP should encourage rather than silence a voice of reason like that of Fani-Kayode.”

Meanwhile, the PDP has said that Sheriff will only spend three months in office due to the controversy caused by his appointment.
