Femi Fani Kayode who recently defected to the ruling APC has started complaining about being ignored by the party leaders who did everything to woo him to their fold, a source has revealed to YeyeNews.com. President Buhari had received Mr. Fani Kayode at the State House when he was presented by the chairman of the party’s Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Gov. Mai Bala Buni.
“After the president received FFK at the villa, nobody has invited him to any party meeting. Even his state chapter of the party rejected him and the national leadership did nothing about it. The shocking part is the cold shoulder he has received from the party leaders who initially promised that he would play important roles in major decision making once he joins the party. Now no one has even invited him to a dinner. The man is not happy”, the source said.
When YeyeNews.com reporter asked if Mr. Fani Kayode is considering defecting back to the PDP, the source said he cannot rule out anything out at this time. “It will be difficult for me to speculate on that. But knowing the personality of FFK nothing can be ruled out. He had eaten, vomited and gone back to his vomit many times before”.
A Lagos State APC chieftain wondered how Femi Fani Kayode expected to be fully integrated into the party knowing his deplorable antecedents. “Even those who took him to Mr President do not trust him. The entire event was just a photo op that was arranged as an instrument of psychological war to demoralize the PDP. After that event, he ceases to be relevant”.
Meanwhile the PDP has mocked the former minister and asked him to remain in APC to fight for his relevance. A top PDP chieftain who pleaded anonymity told YeyeNews.com that “our party is undergoing self-cleansing at this moment. We are not likely to allow any contaminant into our midst”.
