Why I left PDP for APC, Fani-Kayode speaks
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Fani-Kayode, who used to be one of the ardent critics of the administration of President Buhari, explained why he defected to the APC.
He said his decision to dump the PDP for the ruling APC was divine.
The former minister said that he was led by the Spirit of God in his decision and that he joined the APC to help for the unity of the country. He added that he was against anything that would cause the disintegration of Nigeria.
Fani-Kayode speaks on allegations that he joined APC for financial reasons
Similarly, Femi Fani-Kayode had reacted angrily to insinuations that he defected to the APC for financial reasons.
He said:
"I have never lacked for finances (sic). There are no financial inducements. Politicians don’t move because of finances. If I had wanted to move because of finances, I would have done that a long time ago."
