Fani-Kayode: APC inviting ‘charlatan, prostitute’ to Aso Rock, leaving me out – Joe Igbokwe fumes

A former spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe, has berated the leadership of the party over the reception accorded a former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode into the party.

Recall that Mr. Fani-Kayode had officially dumped his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), for the APC, on Thursday in Abuja, after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa.

But reacting to the development in a post on his Facebook page, Igbokwe, an aide to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said that the APC was yet to invite him (Igbokwe) to meet with President Buhari despite all his push for the ruling party.

Igbokwe slammed the ruling party for giving a political ‘charlatan and prostitute’ like Fani-Kayode a red carpet welcome into iuts fold.

He wrote in the post, “Despite all my push for APC, Abuja has not given me a phone talk less of inviting me for coffee with the C-in-C. But here is a political charlatan and prostitute being given a red carpet in the seat of power, Abuja.”

Defending his defection to APC in an interview with Channels Television, Fani-Kayode said his battles against President Buhari in 2015 were only political.

Fani-Kayode noted that he never stated that he is an angel or he is a devil, but Nigeria is fighting a war that needed everyone to be united.

The former minister also said that today’s main issues is not about President Buhari or about him (Fani-Kayode) but about helping poor Nigerians.

“I am not the first to defect from a political. Do all other defectors take back what they say?

“Now is a time to work with Buhari to move the nation forward,” he said.

Mr. Fani-Kayode commended Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State for uniting the APC, stating that he would not have joined the ruling party if not for Buni.
