Lagos APC chieftain, Joe Igbokwe, has attacked the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) saying the party rewards and honours enemies.
Reacting in a post on his Facebook page over the defection of Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC on Thursday Igbowe said the APC was yet to invite him to meet with Buhari despite despite all his push for the ruling party.
He berrated the party for giving a political “charlatan and prostitute” like Fani-Kayode a red carpet welcome.
“Despite all my push for APC, Abuja has not given me a phone talk less of inviting me for coffee with the C-in-C. But here is a political charlatan and prostitute being given a red carpet in the seat of power, Abuja,” Joe Igbokwe wrote.
However, while defending his defection to APC on Thursday, Fani-Kayode said his battles against President Buhari in 2015 were only political.
“I am not the first to defect from a political. Do all other defectors take back what they say?
“Now is a time to work with Buhari to move the nation forward,” he said.
Fani-Kayode commended Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State for uniting the APC, stating that he would not have joined the ruling party if not for Buni.
