Chief
Femi Fani-Kayode on Tuesday, said he stood by his comments about the All
Progressives Congress and some of its leaders, nothing that he looked forward
to meeting the party in court.
The
Former Minister of Aviation, who recently defected from the APC to the PDP, had
during an interview he granted Channels TV, on Monday, accused some APC leaders
of being sympathetic towards the Boka Haram sect.
APC
has threatened to sue Fani-Kayode if he did not retract the comments and
apologise to the party.
Fani-Kayode
in a statement on Tuesday said he would never apologise to the APC or its
spokeperson, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, for saying “the truth.”
Fani-Kayode said, “I wish to make it clear that I stand by every
single allegation and assertion that I made in the said interview and that I
believe strongly that the APC comprises at least a handful of Boko Haram
sympathisers and questionable individuals who have at various times expressed a
certain degree of support for Boko Haram.
“Though he denied it, it is on record that Lai Mohammed
protested about and opposed the proscription of Boko Haram by the Federal
Government in various newspapers on June 10, 2013 and he described such
proscription as being unconstitutional and/or extra-constitutional and wrong in
various newspapers.”
He added that Mohammed, on behalf of his party, also opposed the
idea of Boko Haram being labelled as a terrorist organisation by the United
States of America.
I think the records are there to ascertain if Fani-Kayode’s last
statements are true.
