Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, met with President Buhari in the statehouse this afternoon as it has been announced he has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress APC.
His defection was announced by presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina.
FFK was led to pay a courtesy visit to President Buhari in the statehouse Abuja today September 16 by the caretaker Committee Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Mai Mala Buni.
Shortly after meeting with President Buhari, the new APC member had a session with State House correspondents where he claimed responsibility for the defection of three PDP governors who joined the ruling party – Governor Matawalle, as well as Governor David Umahi (Ebonyi) and Governor Ben Ayade (Cross River).
Fani-Kayode, a former spokesman for the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, said he was instrumental in the events that led to the defection of the three governors.
He added that he had been a founding member of the APC and simply returned to the ruling party for the unity of the country.
The former minister revealed that he was equally wooing three more governors in the main opposition party to join the ruling party.
He listed them to include Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, and Governor Ifeanyi Uguanyi of Enugu State.
He said whatever opinion anyone may have about his credibility, as a result of his constant change of parties, was up to them.
