A chieftain of People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Femi Fani-Kayode has mocked Dr. Bukola Saraki, former Senate President, for trying to stop ex-President Goodluck Jonathan from joining the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Saraki, who returned to the PDP prior to the 2019 general elections, recently led the party’s reconciliation committee on a visit to Jonathan.
Fani-Kayode sees the move as an irony of life that Saraki, who abandoned Jonathan and led the exodus of party members from the PDP in 2014 and caused his (Jonathan) defeat in 2015, is now leading another team to try to stop the former President from leaving the party.
The Saraki-led PDP reconciliation committee visited Jonathan amid speculations that the ruling APC was enticing Jonathan with its presidential ticket come 2023.
“Interesting to note that the man that led the team to GEJ’s house to appeal to him not to leave the PDP yesterday is the same man that led the rebellion against him & the defection of Governors from the same party in 2014 & cost him the 2015 presidential election. What an irony!”
Fani-Kayode tweeted.
The former Aviation Minister is rumoured to have concluded arrangements to dump the People’s Democratic Party for the ruling APC. Although he had denied the rumour, the grapevine keeps getting stronger.
