Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has come under heavy censure over his defection from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to All Progressive Congress (PDP).
MDB earlier reported that Fani-Kayode was on Thursday presented to President Muhammadu Buhari by Mai Mala Buni, chairman, caretaker committee of APC and governor of Yobe state, at the presidential villa, Abuja.

Giving a reason for his action after years of publicly condemning the current administration and APC, Fani-Kayode said he was led by the spirit of God in his decision to join the APC to help foster the unity of the country.
The former minister said he is against anything that would cause the disintegration of Nigeria.
Speaking, FFK said;
I’ll say that the only constant thing in life is change. You can’t hold me to what I’ve said in the past if circumstances change and I will always bow to superior argument and logic.
For me, the primary cause today and let me say this, there’s no way I will renege on my fundamental core values and principles, anybody that knows me will tell you that.
I believe in certain things; how the country should be moved forward. I will fight for that from within this party to ensure it’s done. I believe in fairness and equity. But the most important thing for us today is we must not allow our country to fall apart based on disagreement and misunderstanding amongst one another.
He added;
I’ve recognized the fact that we’re very close to war, a lot of people don’t know this and God forbid we should go into that. We should come together build it. If they criticize me for that, it’s their right to do so.
I don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings, but I’ve made a choice, I believe I’ve been led by the Spirit of God and I will fight the … and fight for what I believe is right within this party as I would anyway. I will never give up on my core values and principles.
Reacting to the news, many Nigerians took to social media to slam the politician, reminding him times he had criticised the administration and the party for their inadequacies.
A video about him saying he would rather die than return to APC has even surfaced online, with many people questioning about his latest decision.

Femi Fani-Kayode is as irrelevant in the Nigerian politics as anything you know. Tell me of what relevant is it that he joins APC or remain in PDP. A man who is more of a social media influencer than a politician. He is just a political rottweiler. He backs and that is it.

I will rather die poor with my dignity & honour than live rich like Femi Fani Kayode. I lost counts of what this man said about BUHARI.
Today his back to same APC, how can a man eat his own vomit. Clearly these men are not moved by ideas rather to keep feeding their greed. #FFK

Nigerians are indeed in the worst mess. How can one rationalise the dumping of the PDP by the rabid Femi Fani Kayode to join the rudderless APC? Wonder shall never end indeed in the nation. After all the boastful rancorous claims that he better die than join APC? He must die now

People like Femi Fani Kayode make politics filthier that it already is. There is nothing more demeaning than a despicable man who is hungry, and with no shame. He will sell his kids for a morsel. Politics should never be a profession.
