Twitter is currently abuzz over the rumoured defection of Femi Fani-Kayode, a former aviation minister.

There were speculations that Fani-Kayode, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), plans to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC), after he met with Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi, and Mai Mala Buni, Yobe governor and chairman of the APC caretaker committee, on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, the former minister also took to his verified Twitter handle to share photos of his visit to the residence of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

However, Nigerians took to Twitter to comment on Fani-Kayode’s meeting with the APC leaders, with many users taunting him for fraternising with members of a party he had criticised in the past.

Meanwhile, in a tweet on Wednesday, Fani-Kayode said he’s still a member of the PDP.

“Though we have had meetings across party lines and we are in a season of political consultation, I have not left the PDP,” he tweeted.
