A former minister of Aviation and PDP chieftain, Femi Fani-Kayode, has explained why he joined the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) despite all he had said about the party and even President Muhammadu Buhari in the recent past.

Speaking with journalists shortly after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, the Osun state-born politician and lawyer, said he decided to join the APC because of President Buhari’s commitment to a better and secured Nigeria.

Fani-Kayode added that he was led by the Spirit of God in his decision and that he joined the APC to help for the unity of the country.

While speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Fani-Kayode, who is known as a strong critic of the Buhari administration, attributed his actions in the past to the fact that he did not know the President so well at the time.

According to him, he criticised the President in the past and done that effectively when he felt it was appropriate to do so.

“However, having moved closer to him (Buhari) over the last few months, I have discovered a lot of things that I did not know before; there is a lot going on behind the scenes,” the former PDP chieftain said during the programme.
