Former Aviation Minister, Mr. Femi Fani Kayode, said
yesterday he was no longer a member of All Progressives
Congress, APC, citing alleged allocation of all key positions
in the party to Muslims.
*Fani-Kayode
According to him, “it is unacceptable for APC to also want
to present a Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2015 presidential
elections.”
But the APC in a swift reaction, said Fani-Kayode was never
its member, saying his claim of being a leader of the party
was a figment of his imagination.
Fani-Kayode, who said he had returned to Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, also accused the APC of playing
politics with every issue in the country.
APC spokesman, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, had claimed in an
interview with Premium Times magazine yesterday that the
former Aviation Minister was never a member of the APC but
Fani-Kayode said he could no loner fraternise with a party
that had relegated Christians within its fold to the
background.
He said APC was being run as a cult, wondering why the
party was always faulting every move made by the federal
government to checkmate the fundamentalist Islamic sect,
Boko Haram.
He said: “I have never been and will never be part of a cult
and the fact that people like Mohammed and those he
represents within the APC are not comfortable with any form
of admonition or criticism from senior party members like
me speaks volumes.”
