A staunch supporter of the All Progressives Congress, Mr. Femi Fani Kayode is reportedly disillusioned with the party’s reported adoption of a Muslim-Muslim ticket and has reportedly began to negotiate with the Peoples Democratic Party.
Fani-Kayode is reported to have met with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa yesterday. Details of the meeting remain secret, but some reports allege that Fani-Kayode is set to dump the APC and pitch his tent with the camp of the President ahead of the 2015 elections.
Speaking to journalists after the meeting that lasted about one hour, Fani-Kayode said there was nothing unusual about his meeting with the President.
His words: “This is a Presidential Villa, the President is a President of Nigeria and every single person in this country that is a Nigerian is entitled to come here from time to time, when the doors are open to come and pay their respect to the wonderful people that are here. As a Nigerian, I have done that today and I am delighted to be here.”
Speaking on the alleged end of his romance with APC, Fani Kayode said, “The step that I will take will be made known to Nigerians at the right time.
“The most important thing and I think you are fully aware of this is that I cannot and I will not be associated with a situation whereby any group of people is promoting a religion above another.
“I think all of us have gone past the stage of religious politics in this country. We must treat the Muslim community with utmost respect and we must treat the Christian community in the same way and even the non-religious.”
