The Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has said a former
aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has defected from the Peoples Democratic
Party to the All Progressives Congress.
In a video shot during an APC event in Kogi and shared on
Wednesday, Bello said the defection was one of his achievements as the head of
the youth mobilisation committee for the party’s membership registration and
revalidation.
“Our brother and friend, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has joined
our party in good faith. He is joining our party to come and add his own
positive energy and make contributions to ensuring that APC is a party to beat.
“Remember, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode is a foundation member of
the All Progressives Congress… Now he has decided to join our party, approached
me and by the mandate giving to me by our party, I must not segregate,” the
governor said.
The Kogi State Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo,
in an interview with our correspondent in Lokoja, said the statement credited
to the governor was true.
“It is a video and it is clear,” said the commissioner in a
short reply to our correspondent’s enquiry about the viral video.
However, Fani-Kayode said that he was still a member of the
PDP.
“Though we have had meetings across party lines and we are
in a season of political consultation, I have not left the PDP,” he wrote on
his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday.
