Former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode has formally joined the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. The governor also disclosed he is currently working on wooing Governor Makinde and other governors who are his allies to join the party.
Fani-Kayode was presented to President Muhammadu Buhari by the Chairman, Caretaker Committee of the APC, and governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni on Thursday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Mr. Fani Kayode while thanking the president to receiving him with his two hands said; “I was led by the Spirit of God.”
“I joined the APC to help for the unity of the country. I was against anything that would cause the disintegration of Nigeria.”
“I was instrumental for the exit of three Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governors to the APC recently.”
The governors he mentioned were Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State, Ben Ayade of Cross River State and Bello Matawale of Zamfara State.
He further said that; he has friends across party line and was wooing the governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, the governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde and the governor of Bauchi Bala Mohammed.
I am neither surprised nor jolted by the eventual defection of FFK. He has; for long, being hobnobing within the corridor of powers begging those who have PMB’s ears to speak on his behalf.
His promise to woo the likes of Governor Makinde is not impossible. Every politician is a selfish being. What matters to them is their interest.
At present, PDP is suffering from chronic congenital problem which needa both intestinal and abdominal surgeries. The party is heading toward extinction and this might affect the chances of its governors especially those that might be seeking second terms.
The luring of PDP party stalwwarts is a calculated attempt to deplete its numerical strength ahead 2023.
In 2019, Tinubu killed PDP. This time, it is Buni.
In addition, Nigeria democracy lacks ideology and filled with manifesto of deceit. All the other politicians are all political scavengers whose appetite to siphon and loot is insatiable. Their promises could be likened to a masquerade quoting Bible texts. They know the truth but only the theory.
