A report by The Nation indicates that President Muhammadu Buhari's major critic and former minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode may be on his way back to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) six years after he left the party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Legit.ng gathered that sources close to him informed the newspaper that the ex-minister met with chairman, Caretaker/Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Governor Mai Mala Buni and Kogi governor, Yahaya Bello, at a Guest House in Abuja.

It was reported that the closed-door meeting, which lasted for about an hour, may not be unconnected with fine-tuning plans for the return of the former minister to APC.
