Femi Fani-Kayode, the former
minister of aviation, has joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He was, on Thursday, presented to
President Muhammadu Buhari by Mai Mala Buni, chairman, caretaker committee of
the APC and governor of Yobe state, at the presidential villa, Abuja.
Fani-Kayode said he was led by
the spirit of God in his decision to join the APC.
The former minister said he is
committed to the unity of the country and that he is against anything that
would cause the disintegration of Nigeria.
According to Fani-Kayode, he was
instrumental in the defection of three Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors
to the APC.
He listed Dave Umahi of Ebonyi
state, Ben Ayade of Cross River, and Bello Matawale of Zamfara as the governors
he helped facilitate their defection to APC.
Fani-Kayode said he has friends
across party lines and that he is presently wooing Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, the
governor of Enugu state, Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo state, and Bala
Mohammed of Bauchi to join the ruling party.
The former minister’s defection
comes several months after he vehemently denied dumping the PDP.
Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi,
had in February claimed that Fani-Kayode had crossed over to the APC.
But Fani-Kayode debunked Bello’s
claim, insisting that he was still a member of PDP.
