Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode on Thursday
returned to the All Progressives Congress.
This comes barely two years after he described the party as
darkness, which he will never associate with.
He had said in October 2019 when there was a speculation
that he was considering to join the ruling party that “APC is a sinking ship”.
Then, in a series of tweets, he described the report of his
defection as “false and insulting”.
He accused the President, Major General Buhari Muhammadu-led
regime of deceiving Nigerians with anti-corruption war.
He had said, “The suggestion that l joined the APC is false and insulting. Those that are peddling this fake news should bury their heads in shame. With what we have witnessed, l would rarher die than join a filthy, rat-infested sinking ship like the Almajiri Peoples Congress (APC).
“I am committed to opposing the APC and those that are in
their ranks for the rest of my natural life and I will NEVER join them no
matter what! They are nothing but darkness whilst l stand for the light of God
and truth: there can be NO fellowship between light and darkness.”
But when he met Buhari, whom he had clamoured for his
impeachment two years ago, FFK said he was just doing the right thing.
Fani-Kayode, who also spoke to the correspondents, said he
believed that it was time for him to cross over to join hands with the
President in moving Nigeria forward.
He said on Thursday, “The point is that I felt it was time
to do the right thing, to put Nigeria first and appreciate the efforts that
have been made, particularly in the last couple of years in terms of security;
fighting insurgency and terrorism.
“It is not always negative and when the time is right, we
change direction to join forces and join hands to move the country forward.
“Doing this doesn’t mean we are enemies to anybody. Even if
we are in another party, the PDP or any other party or group, we can still work
together across party, regional, ethnic or religious lines.”
