The defection of the former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has stirred reactions from the public and even from members of the All Progressive Congress (APC).

According to a statement by the Director-General of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Dr Salihu Moh Lukman disclosed that party members are angry with the red-carpet reception President Muhammadu Buhari gave to the former Minister when he defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC last week.

Dele Farotimi as a guest on CityTalks with Reuben Abati, in his reaction about Fani-Kayode’s defection;

He asked,” Why would anybody use Femi Fani-Kayode as a compass for their own political position?”

According to him, people cross-carpeting from one party to another is normal to him because politics in Nigerian is slave trading.

He said, “When I say do not die in their war, it is because I can see that there is no division among the political class.

“There are no ideological or religious division among the ruling class, both economic and political ruling class.

“What you find is that they have become so syncretic that they have become one and when you hear them shouting or seemingly fighting, it is not really an argument that is based on any idea, or anything substantive.

“It is about how the loot which Nigerian common wealth have become.

“How the loot is shared at any point in time.

He added, “But I saw Nigerian repeatedly allowing themselves to be dragged into fighting theselves, hating themselves, killing themselves, justifying the hatred sometimes in the name of God’ on behalf of person who are not interested in anything that has to do with their welfare.”

Farotimi is of the opinion that Fani-Kayode has acted the pedigree suggested by the man who brought him to national prominence stated years ago.

He said, the recommendation offered by Obasanjo said, “give him (Fani-Kayode) food, he will sing for and dance for you”

I Farotimi’s opinion, Fani-Kayode is of no electoral value and he is not a man any rational being should follow in any shape or form.

“When you see movement, it is obvious that electoral seasons are upon us.

“The political class are making calculations, and the people in power are consolidating,” he said.

He added, “It is nothing to be surprised at, it is just for us to understand that there are no divisions among our political class.”
