Buhari never invited me to coffee, but he did receive Fani-Kayode, a Lagos APC leader, Igbokwe laments

Joe Igbokwe, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in Lagos State, has lamented the defection of Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation, to the APC, as well as President Muhammadu Buhari’s (retd.) decision to personally receive Fani-Kayode at the Presidential Villa.

In a Facebook post, Igbokwe expressed regret that Buhari was able to give Fani-Kayode a hero’s welcome while those who had stood by him for years were never invited or given recharge cards.

“Despite all my push for the APC, Abuja has not given me a phone call, much less invited me for coffee with c in c, but here is a political charlatan and prostitute being given a red carpet in the seat of power, Abuja,” the APC chieftain wrote.

“APC rewards adversaries. They take care of their adversaries. There is no balance in this life (sic).

“Please understand that I am fine where I am today, but I know a slew of APC zealots who are 100 percent better than FFK. Nobody has ever heard of them. “Not a single recharge card, not a single bottle of Coke, not even a thank you.”

Former APC Publicity Secretary in Lagos State, Igbokwe, said the party must understand the importance of ‘consequence management.’
He shared screenshots of Fani-previous Kayode’s posts mocking Buhari and endorsing secessionists such as Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, and Sunday Igboho.

“In the APC, we must learn consequence management,” Igbokwe continued. Discipline is required to build a nation, while indiscipline and impunity are required to crush and destroy one. Actions have repercussions.”

Fani-Kayode, who joined the APC on Thursday, had previously been one of the President’s harshest critics, describing the ruling party as a “evil association.”

He once stated that he would rather die than become a member of the party. As a result, many Nigerians were taken aback by his defection.

Many members of the APC have also been critical of his defection.

Senator Babafemi Ojudu, a Presidential Political Adviser, called Fani-defection Kayode’s the “saddest day of my political career.”
