I’m still with PDP – Fani-Kayode
A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, said on Wednesday he has not quit the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The ex-minister had on Monday met the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker Committee, Mala Mai Buni; and Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, at the latter’s guest house in Abuja.
The meeting fueled speculation that Fani-Kayode is on the verge of returning to the party he left about seven years ago.
Bello also claimed that Fani-Kayode, who is one of the vocal critics of APC and President Muhammadu Buhari has agreed to rejoin the ruling party.

But he declared that he has not quit the PDP.
Fani-Kayode wrote: “Though we have had meetings across party lines and we are in a season of political consultation, I have not left the PDP.”
