Osun Ibile Forum has warned the new chairman of Peoples Democratic Party ,
Senator Ali Modu Sheriff over his threat against former Aviation Minister
, Chief Fanikayode.
In a statement signed by its Coordinator , Prince Adeoluwa Adesegun ,the
group said Chief Fanikayode statement on Boko Haram was already in public
domain,wondering why Senator Sheriff should issue personal warning on an
issue already of public knowledge.
” We are using this opportunity to warn that nothing untoward should
happen to one of our leaders , Chief Oluwa kayode Fanikayode. The former
minister is a committed party man and he has every right to defend the
credibility of his party. There is nothing on earth that should warrant a
direct personal threat to a public figure like Fanikayode.
” For us on this forum, we stand by Chief Fanikayode and we say it loud
and clear that we uphold his fight for justice, credibility and due
process in the reform of the PDP.He is a man known for speaking his mind
and most of the time , he speaks the truth many are afraid of saying.
” If truly Senator Sheriff is a statesman, why should he issue a threat as
strong as that against a party man? At a time he should be pursuing
reconciliation, is it right for the chairman to engage in open brawl”,the
group asked.
The group concluded by nothing that PDP cannot regain power if it fails to
engage in genuine reforms, adding “PDP should encourage rather than
silence the voice of reason like that of Fanikayode “
