Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation, has attributed his dumping the All Progressives Congress back to religious bigotry exhibited by some leaders of the party, accusing the party of nursing an Islamic agenda and harbouring members who have sympathies for Boko Haram.

Fani-Kayode, in a statement released yesterday, expressed his displeasure with the alleged insincere posture of the leadership of the APC.

“I cannot remain in a party where a handful of people that have sympathies for Boko Haram and that have a clear Islamic agenda are playing a leading role.

“This is made all the more untenable when some of those people are working hard silently and behind the scenes to impose a Muslim/Muslim ticket on the party for the Presidential elections next year.

“I cannot be in a party where a few of its leaders are more interested in playing politics with the whole Chibok issue and hurling bricks at our military for not doing a better job. I cannot be in a party in which the role of one of its governors is not clear on the Chibok issue,” Fani-Kayode said.
