    Fani-Kayode praises Buhari, denies dumping PDP

    Mr Femi Fani-Kayode, ex-minister of state for defence and critic of ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), agreed praising President Muhammadu Buhari but has denied dumping opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

    He said that the reports that he had joined APC are false.

    In tweet on Friday, he said the reports are “vile mendacities and perfidious falsehood’’.

    He said that it was true that he commended President Muhammadu Buhari for getting Zainab Aliyu out of Saudi Arabia prison.

    The commendation, he said was not tantamount to joining the president’s political party.

    “Reports that I said I am “proud of Buhari” and that I have “dumped PDP” and “joined APC” are false. Those that are peddling such vile mendacities and perfidious falsehood are insane.
