Femi Fani-Kayode has defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC. He was received by President Muhammadu Buhari in the State House, Abuja, this afternoon of Thursday, September 16, 2021.
The news of his defection, with photographs to boot, was made public by Femi Adesina, President Buhari’s Adviser on Media and Publicity. “President Buhari receives new APC member, Femi Fani-Kayode in State House on 16th Sep 2021”, he captioned the accompanying photographs.
FFK, as he is popularly called was a former Aviation Minister under President Olusegun Obasanjo. He was also the Director of Media and Publicity for the President Goodluck Jonathan failed Presidential second term bid in 2015.
This is the second time he will dump the PDP for the APC.
His second journey to the APC is not entirely surprising. He had made a bid a couple of months ago to join them through Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, and the Interim National Chairman of the Party, Governor of Yobe State, Mai Buni. But he was reportedly blocked by some young turks in the Party who flung his many outrageous abuses of the President at him.
He has since been in their company, showing up at the wedding of Buhari’s son in Kano, recently.
At the wedding, he took a photograph with Isa Patami, Minister for Communications and Digital Economy, a man he had called unprintable names a couple of weeks earlier and condemned to death for being an alleged terrorist. But he flaunted the photograph with a caption: “my friend and brother.”
He has joined the list of many PDP members who have been dropping the umbrella for the broom recently.
