Former Aviation Minister, Femi
Fani-Kayode has spoken on the appointment of a former Chairman of Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as the Director General of
Buhari 2019 Presidential Support Committee.
Sheriff was a two-term governor
of Borno State and returned to the APC few weeks to the state congresses of the
ruling party.
Fani-Kayode recalled that he alerted Nigerians several times that
Sheriff was an All Progressives Congress (APC) mole planted in the PDP.
He said: “When I told the world
that Ali Modu Sheriff was working for Buhari two years ago when he was handed
the leadership of the PDP on a platter of gold many within our party doubted
it.
“I was eventually proved right
and those that initially brought him to lead our party joined forces with me
and others and together we eventually kicked him out. It was a hard and long
battle.
“It cost us our liberty and it
almost cost us our lives and our party but we survived it and came out
stronger. Now the mole has been rewarded by his boss for the dirty job he did
even though he failed to destroy us.
“I wish him ill in his new
endeavour as the chief cheerleader for Buhari’s 2019 campaign and he can be
rest assured that they will fail. The two of them deserve each other: darkness
attracts darkness, evil attracts evil and demons attract demons.”
The Presidency announced
Sheriff’s appointment through the Office of the Secretary to the Government of
the Federation (OSGF),
The Sheriff-led body has a list
of 35 members of the Support Committee, 10 members of National Advisory
Committee and 5 members of National Patrons with President Muhammadu Buhari as
the Grand Patron.
A popular Kano musician, Dauda
Rara was appointed National Director Music, while a Nollywood Actor and a
member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon Desmond Elliot is the National
Publicity Secretary.
Chief of Staff to the Imo State
governor and governorship aspirant of APC, Uche Ugwumba Nwosu will serve as the
National Secretary.
Senior Special Assistant to the
President on Political matters, Hon Gideon Sammani, made the disclosure in a
statement on Friday.
It noted that the “individuals
were selected after the APC National Convention to build on the momentum of the
success to step up preparation within the hierarchy and ranks and file of the
party to fully support President Muhammadu Buhari to continue with his
programmes and policies for the upliftment and advancement of the country with
the manifesto of the APC.”
However, the Committee is
different from Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO) which recently appointed Mr.
Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transport as the Director General while Human
Rights Lawyer Festus Keyamo (SAN) as the spokesman and Director, Strategic
Communications.
