Lagos - The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Joe Igbokwe, has faulted the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to personally receive Femi Fani-Kayode at the Presidential Villa.
The Punch reports that Igboke on Friday, September 17, took to his Facebook page to express his displeasure through a post and also lamented the defection of the former minister of aviation.
According to him, it was unfortunate that Buhari could give Fani-Kayode a hero’s welcome while those who had stood with him for years were never invited or given recharge cards.

“Despite all my push for the APC, Abuja has not given me a phone call talk-less of inviting me for a coffee with c in c but here is a political charlatan and prostitute being given a red carpet in the seat of power, Abuja.
“APC reward enemies. They pamper enemies. This life no balance at all (sic).
“Please I am ok where I am today but I know countless number of APC diehards who are 100 per cent better than FFK. Nobody has remembered them. Not even a recharge card, not even a bottle of coke, not even thank you.”
