APC to sue Femi Fani-Kayode over his comments on BokoHaram


The All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode to retract his comment alleging that the APC, through its National Publicity Secretary Lai Mohammed, condemned the Federal Government for proscribing the terror group Boko Haram or face a legal action.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said at no time did it iss...ue a statement condemning the proscription of Boko Haram, and challenged Mr. Fani-Kayode to produce such a statement if he was so sure the APC issue it. It quoted Alhaji Lai Mohammed as saying: ”I have caused my attorneys to formally write both Fani-Kayode and Channel television, where he made his allegation, to retract the statement and apologize, failing which I will sue for defamation of character.”
”Our position on Boko Haram has been well articulated for anyone who cares to know, but at no time did we condemn the government for proscribing it. When the state of emergency was declared on three northern states, we criticized it and we stand by that. But we did not condemn the proscription of Boko Haram. We are not Boko Haram sympathizers and we cannot be under any circumstance,” APC said.
My Take:
I think he should also be sued for labeling the party Almanjeri People's Congress.
The fact that you don't agree with your old friends and former associates any more doesn't mean you should be running your mouths recklessly about them...
"There are no permanent enemies, and no permanent friends in politics, only permanent interests.
