Senator Sheriff had, in a newspaper advertisement, threatened to sue Fani-Kayode over his statement that he (Sheriff) is a sponsor of Boko Haram.

However, Fani-Kayode said even though he is yet to be served with any court order, but he is not losing any sleep over the threat.

The former Aviation Minister, in a statement by his spokesman, Jude Ndukwe, maintained that he stands by everything he said concerning the National Chairman of the PDP.

According to the statemen, “We read the newspaper advert in Thisday newspaper in which Ali Modu Sheriff has threatened to sue Chief Femi Fani-Kayode.

“Though we have not received a formal letter from his lawyers to that effect, we wish to inform him and members of the public that we stand by everything that we have said about Sheriff; we have briefed our lawyers, we welcome the suit and we shall gladly meet him in court.

“The days of silencing people with arrogant threats and frivolous litigation are long over. We cannot be silenced by Modu Sheriff’s threat to sue and we are not losing any sleep over it.

“Such a course of action will prove not only to be counter-productive for him but by the time it is all over he will get the shocker of his life,” it said.
