Founder of Boko Haram is a member of the opposition - FFK

While speaking on Channels TV's breakfast show, Sunrise Daily, this
morning June 30th, former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, who
recently dumped the APC for PDP, said the founder of terrorist group,
Boko Haram, is an indigene of Borno state and is also a key official
of the opposition. He also said Boko Haram is the armed wing of the
opposition. Some of what he said below...

"It is very clear that the founder of Boko Haram, the person that
actually founded Boko Haram when he was in office...and I won't
mention his name on Television but everybody knows who it is, is from
Borno state. He is alive and well. He is a key member of the
opposition. Again I look at the utterances of the official spokesman
of the opposition last year, that is Lai Mohammed, where he protested
at the fact that Boko Haram was proscribed by the federal government
where he said it was unconstitutional for the federal government to do
so. He needs to explain why it is he would want to protect and support
an organization that has killed almost 15,000 Nigerians as at that
time and is against the fact that they were being proscribed to
protect Nigerians.

"If you compare what's happening in Nigeria to what happened in
Ireland some years ago, you had Sinn Fein on the one hand and then you
had the IRA on the other. The IRA was the armed wing of Sinn Fein and
as far as I'm concerned, Boko Haram could well be described as the
armed wing of the opposition, today."
