Former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode has said that he will facilitate the decamp of Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State and Governor Ifeanyi Uguanyi of Enugu State to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Fani-Kayode gave the assurance when he visited the Aso Rock in Abuja to formalize his official defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday.
The former PDP chieftain, who was introduced to President Muhammadu Buhari as the newest member of the ruling party, expressed that he was instrumental in the events that led to the defection of the three PDP governors, Governor Matawalle (Zamfara), Governor David Umahi (Ebonyi) and Governor Ben Ayade (Cross River) who joined the ruling party.
The former Aviation Minister was led to the meeting with the President by the APC National Caretaker Committee Chairman and Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni.
Also in the meeting was the Secretary to the Government of Federation (SGF), Mr. Boss Mustapha.
He told State House correspondents that he had been a founding member of the APC and simply returned to the ruling party for the unity of the country.
