Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode is angry that
former Governor of Kwara State, Dr. Bukola Saraki led a team to persuade former
President, Goodluck Jonathan not to leave the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
PDP leaders, led by Saraki were in Jonathan’s house two days
ago with the sole agenda of persuading him not to leave PDP after several
rumours had it that he might dump the party for APC to seek presidential
ambition.
Saraki is leading the PDP Reconciliation and Strategy
Committee to dialogue with aggrieved PDP members in a bid to strengthen the
party ahead the 2023 presidential election.
But Fani-Kayode said it was Saraki who led a rebellion
against Jonathan in 2014 and persuaded PDP governors to defect to the APC.
He said Saraki’s action and the defected governors cost
Jonathan to lose the 2015 presidential election.
Fani-Kayode, though, did not mention Saraki’s name,
described as irony the new move by the former Senate President after he bit
Jonathan in 2015.
“Interesting to note that the man that led the team to GEJ’s
house to appeal to him not to leave the PDP yesterday is the same man that led
the rebellion against him and the defection of Governors from the same party in
2014 and cost him the 2015 presidential election. What an irony!” he tweeted.
Saraki has been making several move at bringing PDP members
together to strengthen the bond ahead of the presidency.
After meeting with Jonathan with the team, he had also met
with all former governors elected under PDP not to defect and to come together
to strategise for 2023.
“At today’s meeting with the former Governors that have been
elected under the platform of the @OfficialPDPNig, they promised the members of
the #PDPReconciliation & Strategy Committee that moving forward they will
be more active in the affairs of the party at all levels,” Saraki tweeted.
