Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, has reacted to the claim
by the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation that
the Federal Government was planning to use a fake Ibrahim Shekau to
implicate the party’s presidential candidate, Major General Mohammadu
Buhari (retd).
According to. New statement by him, he challenged APC to reveal the real Shekau since they know the original.
“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,” saying,
“instead of commending the soldiers and encouraging them, what the APC
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.”
According to. New statement by him, he challenged APC to reveal the real Shekau since they know the original.
“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, 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.” “APC should, therefore, simply produce the original Shekau that
they know because you can only recognise fake when you know the
original.”
