Chief Femi Fani-Kayode who was the Director of Publicity for the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015 elections has defected to the present ruling party, the All Progressive Congress, APC.
This was made known by the Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, while addressing a crowd and newsmen said that a controversial politician and former minister of Aviation, Fani-Kayode, has joined their party the APC.
He is one of the most consistent and acerbic critic of the ruling party.
On Monday, Mr Fani-Kayode’s pictures with the governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello and subsequently with the governor of Yobe State and chairman of the APC caretaker committee, Mai Mala Buni, sparked speculations that the controversial politician was planning to defect to the APC.
Although Mr Fani-Kayode said the visit to the two key politicians was to build bridges for the stability of the country, sources said the visit was to prepare ground for his imminent defection.
