The immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has said that the speculations that a former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, was defecting to All Progressive Congress (APC) was far from the truth.
Fayose who spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday, said the former minister had confirmed to him that he has no such agenda.
“I know FFK is going nowhere. What they are saying is not true. I have spoken to FFK about six times. What they are saying is not true. I’m 100 percent sure,” he said.
Asked if he would want to join APC in the future, Fayose said the party has nothing to offer him, adding that the PDP gave him a golden opportunity of becoming a governor at 42 years old.
The former governor also lambasted people leaving PDP for APC, saying their decisions were motivated by covetousness.
“May I say this to you, very clearly, in the book of James one from verse four, the Bible says a man is taken away in his own covetousness. Anyone who leaves PDP for APC at this time must be taken away by his own covetousness”, the former governor said.
