Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has said that
he’s still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
This is despite confirmation by the Governor of Kogi State,
Yahaya Bello, that he has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Fani-Kayode had on Monday met with Bello and the National
Chairman of the APC, Governor Mai Buni of Yobe State, leading to speculation
that he had defected to the ruling party.
The speculation was confirmed to be true by Bello who, in a viral video, said, “Our brother and friend, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has joined our party in good faith. He’s joining our party to add his own positive energy and make contribution into ensuring that APC is a party to beat.”
“Remember that Chief Femi Fani-Kayode was a foundation
member of this great party. Due to misunderstanding, he decided to port
elsewhere, now he has decided to join our party, approached me, and by the
mandate given to me by the party, I must not segregate or discriminate against
any individual.”
In a swift reaction, Fani-Kayode admitted that he’s indeed
holding talks across party lines. He, however, made it clear that he has not
left 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.
