Shame On Buhari, APC For Receiving Political Liability Like Fani-Kayode Into Party – Ex-Minister Blows Hot
Following Defection of FFK, Ex-Minister says Shame On Buhari, APC For Receiving Political Liability Like Fani-Kayode Into Party
Former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, says admitting discredited former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, into the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, is both shameful and insensitive.
This is as he also described Fani-Kayode as a “political hawker” and “liability”.
In a statement issued on Friday, Dalung said he was ashamed that Buhari could share a table with someone who had called him a “criminal.”
Part of the statement read, “In the whole of my existence, I have not been ashamed of myself like yesterday (Thursday) when I watched Femi Fani-Kayode standing by the President in the State House in Abuja. I have no problems with people’s political affiliations but I have issues with the manner the confidence and goodwill of Nigerians are being gambled with recklessly by clueless political elites.
Shame On Buhari
“Could recruitment of political liabilities in the face of raving insecurity that has claimed lives of many innocent Nigerians who voted for us be the priority now?
“What has happened to the humanity of APC leaders that we are so insensitive to the mode of the nation? If we have such political strategies of conquering political opponents like Femi Fani-Kayode, then why have we failed to deploy the same to defeat Boko Haram, banditry, unknown gunmen, kidnapping?”
He lamented that the mission of APC that they formed in 2015 had changed, adding that people now joined the party to get “juicy appointments.”
Dalung said, “This wasn’t our mission when we mobilised Nigerians to trust us with power in 2015. The fear of APC is the beginning of wisdom, once a corrupt politician joins APC his sins are forgiven; all corruption charges will be automatically dropped and compensations with juicy appointments will follow.
“Loyalty in the APC party is a capital offence, no wonder Femi Fani-Kayode insulted President Buhari and swore he will prefer to die than joining APC.
“He is now the latest political bride of the President whom he earlier called a “criminal”. If this is what our party can offer at this critical stage of our national history, then Nigeria has entered one-chance.”
