An aide to the President, Muhamamdu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, has said the majority of members of the ruling All
Progressives Congress may not welcome former Minister of Aviation, Femi
Fani-Kayode if he decides to join the party.
Fani-Kayode had yesterday met with the National Chairman of
the APC, Governor Mai Buni of Yobe State and Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi
State.
Pictures from the meeting had sparked the controversy that
Fani-Kayode, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, was on the verge of
decamping to the APC which he’s an ardent critic of.
In reaction, Ahmad said the former Minister may not be welcomed by the majority of APC members whom he attacked for several years.
“If he decides to join the governing party, I don’t think he
will be welcomed by the majority of the party members whom he made it a duty to
attack and insult for several years,” Ahmad said on his official Twitter
handle.
Meanwhile, Fani-Kayode has said his meeting with the APC
leaders was to discuss the “state of the nation, national issues, party
politics and the way forward.”
He also said that he’s in talks with the leaders of other
political parties asides the ruling APC.
A statement he issued on Monday partly read, “These meetings
are wide-ranging and ongoing and I am delighted to be involved in them. Despite
the obvious benefits and wisdom in this noble initiative, it amazes me that
some people should feel that it is wrong for me to sit with other leaders in
the country to discuss issues which touch and concern the national cohesion,
future and stability of our country. This is a time in which we must set all
our differences aside, build bridges and come together as one lest our country
drifts into fratricidal butchery and civil war.”
