By Gbenga Ariyibi Ado Ekiti
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has accused the
leadership of All Progressives Congress(APC) of knowing
those behind the Boko Haram insurgency.
Rather than wiping out sentiment ,Fayose urged APC to
produce Ibrahim Shekau, the original leader of Boko Haram
The APC’s
Presidential
Campaign
Organisation has
said the Federal
Government was
planning to use a
fake Ibrahim
Shekau to implicate
the party’s
presidential
candidate, Major
General
Mohammadu Buhari (rtd)
In a statement issued in Ado Ekiti Tuesday by his Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere
Olayinka, Fayose lamented the open display of hatred
against Nigeria and its people by the APC.
Fayose therefore charged the APC to produce the original
Shekau, since the party knows that the Federal Government
was presenting a fake one, saying; “It is obvious that APC
does not want the insurgency to end.”
“Up till today, the APC has not made any statement,
commending our gallant soldiers that are laying down their
lives to save Nigerians from the Boko Haram insurgents.
”Instead of commending the soldiers and encouraging them,
what the APC people are doing is to blackmail the military
and one wonders why a party will want to take over power
by supporting killing of innocent Nigerians.”
Speaking further, the governor said; “With the onslaught on
the Boko Haram by our gallant soldiers, the APC appears to
have lost the game of using the insurgency to campaign
against President Goodluck Jonathan.
”Instead of them to face this reality, they have come up with
this criminal assertion that a fake leader of Boko Haram,
Ibrahim Shekau, was being presented before Nigerians by
the government, in order to claim winning the war on
terrorism.
”They are also claiming the fake Shekau might become a tool
to blackmail members of the opposition, by coaching the
phantom terror chief to say he was working for its
presidential candidate, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari,
in order to link him to terrorism.
”With this statement coming from the APC, it is clear that the
party knows what we don’t know about Boko Haram.
”It also indicates that the APC people do not want the Boko
Haram insurgency to end so that they can continue to make
political gains from it.
”Therefore, APC should simply produce the original Shekau
that they know because you can only recognise fake when
you know the original.
