Fani-Kayode denies defecting to APC

By Our Reporters with Vanguard report

FORMER Aviation minister and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, yesterday, dismissed as false reports that he has joined the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

On Monday, he met with some APC governors and Chairman of the Caretaker Committee, Governor Mai Mala Buni, and claimed that the meeting was consultative and would be across party lines to find solutions to Nigeria’s prevailing challenges.

On Tuesday, Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi, one of those Fani-Kayode met, on Monday, reportedly claimed that the PDP chieftain had defected to the APC.

Addressing reporters after revalidating his APC membership in Okene, Bello said Fani-Kayode was now an APC member, claiming that the former minister approached him about his decision to leave the PDP for the APC.

“I have the mandate to mobilise, to sensitize, to educate and woo Nigerians into the party irrespective of their background. 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 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.

“Even if he has a different opening about the party before, about the government, and he has seen the light, the reality and the needs to join the All Progressives Congress, it is just important, nice, and sweet to welcome Chief Femi Fani-Kayode to come and join this party. Remember, this party does not belong to one individual, it belongs to all Nigerians.

“We will welcome you with our hands wide open. So, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, you are welcome to our party. Come and make your contribution and ensure that this party is greater than any individual in Nigeria,” Bello reportedly said.

However, Fani-Kayode, yesterday, denied leaving 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 tweeted.
