Following his emergence as the PDP acting chairman, the Director of Communications for former President Goodluck Jonathan campaign organization in the last general election Femi Fani-Kayode  publicly accused him of being the undisputable founder of Boko Haram.

Explaining himself, Ali Modu- Sheriff said: "Boko Haram wanted to kill me at a time because they believed that I was the one that reported them to President Umaru Yar’Adua to destroy their enclave.

It was after I left government that they moved to

their different camps and bushes. Why should they

kill my brother? Why should they kill my family if I

am a sponsor of Boko Haram? Is there anywhere in

the world that you sponsor people to kill you? he asked.

He stated further, "Let me give you a typical example. Just a week ago, all the social media planted my picture showing me with the card of APC joining the party. At that time, nobody wrote that I was Boko Haram. They said Sheriff was going back to APC; they were showing a

card when we registered with APC before I left the

party. We went to our villages to do it; that village

they are showing on the social media was a village

that was taken over by Boko Haram for the past

three years. So, how could I have gone there to

register?

Few days after I became the Chairman of the PDP,

Ali Sheriff is now Boko Haram; so if you are in APC

you are not a Boko Haram. Throughout my period

in APC, nobody said I was Boko Haram. Immediately

I left the APC, I was termed Boko Haram,” he said.“Nobody in my family or relation is Boko Haram orclose to any Boko Haram member. These people

that wanted to kill me, up till today, if they have the

chance, they will kill me because they think I reported them to Yar’Adua who leveled their places

of worship and along the line, their leader was

killed.

And that was my crime and why they wanted to kill

me. But people that are afraid of me changed the

story and they keep on doing it. Every day, they

write different things but you and I know that

nobody is above the laws of Nigeria. I believe that

President Buhari, even if it is his son or blood

brother that is a Boko Haram, he will arrest and

prosecute him. So the allegation is the figment of

the imagination of the writers" he concluded
