A former Minister of Aviation,
Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted to a statement by Dino Melaye over his defection
to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Dino Melaye, the Senator
representing Kogi West, had said Fani-Kayode got healed of political blindness
before him
He said this in a video where he
dumped the APC for the PDP.
However, Fani Kayode who was a
member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) before he defected to the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) said the difference between him and Melaye was that he
recognised evil in APC, has no blood on his hands and raised the alarm of
‘genocidal tendencies’ in the party before 2015 when Buhari became its
presidential candidate.
The former minister, in a series
of tweets, wrote, “I have always loved my aburo Sen. Dino Melaye and I am
overjoyed by his return to the ranks of the righteous.
“The difference between me and
him is that I joined the then opposition party in 2013 for only 9 months, long
before it was recognised as a political party by INEC, before it was named APC
and long before Buhari became its pres. candidate.
“Unlike Dino, I recognised the
evil in them and left them long before they came to power in 2015. Unlike Dino
I raised the alarm about their genocidal tendencies, their fascistic
disposition and their jihadist agenda and I fought them to a standstill in the
2015 pres. election by boldly speaking for PDP and Pres. Jonathan.
“To add to that I have opposed
their evil ways and demonic agenda consistently without fear or favor for the
last 3 years and I have paid a heavy price for doing so. For the last 4 years,
I have been one of the leading voices of the opposition in the country so I have
paid my dues. It is time for Dino and co. to pay theirs.
“I told the world that we must
stop the APC at all costs from getting power because from what I had seen
during my short time with them they would kill people, lock them up,terrorise
the nation and abuse that power if they ever got it. I was proved right.
“Dino and co.saw the evil in the
APC and instead of following my lead and leaving they stayed there, pitched
their tent with them, fought for them, spoke for them, campaigned for them,
ensuring that they won power and openly supported the evil that they subjected
Nigerians to for the last 3 years.
“In those 3 years, many of our
people were murdered, demonized, locked up, humiliated, detained, subjected to
trumped-up and politically-motivated criminal charges and brutal witchunts,
criminalised, misreprsented, threatened, intimidated and demonised. Many were
totally destroyed and may never recover.
“Unlike Dino and those that
supported Buhari brought him to power and have clapped for him for the last 3
years, I do not have blood on my hands and neither can I be blamed for any of
the atrocities that he has committed because I opposed him, stood up to him,
resisted him and fought him every day for the last 4 years.
“I cannot say the same for my
brother Dino and co. who have only just seen the light because they stayed with
the evil called Buhari and supported and applauded him for those 3 horrendous
years. They turned their back to the light and chose to espouse the darkness.”
