A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fanikayode, has hinted at the possibility of Governor Makinde of Oyo State joining the All Progressives Congress.
Fanikayode just defected to the APC, after years of vowing never to do so, and attacking the President Muhammadu Buhari.
His move has sparked much puzzle pity for Nigerian democracy even on the part of some key members of the APC.
But defending his move on Thursday, Fanikayode said there were other top members of the PDP who were also likely to move.
Among such, he said, were Makinde and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Muhammed.
He said, “There are many people. If you ask my friend and brother, Governor Matawalle here, there are many people within the PDP, who do want to come over to the APC. I can tell you that. I was there and very instrumental when Governor Umahi joined the APC.

“I was there and very instrumental when Governor Ayade did the same thing. I was there and very instrumental when my friend and brother governor of Zamfara, Governor Matawale did the same thing.
“Now, if you don’t mind me mentioning names, somebody like the governor of Enugu State, the governor of Oyo State, and of course, my good friend, the governor of Bauchi State, great friends of mine, and I sincerely hope that they too may end up coming in this direction.
“But whether they do or not, the most important thing is that we work together as a people, as a country, and move our country together and fight and kill the terrorists and put to shame the foreign elements and I emphasize that word, foreign elements, that want us to end up fighting one another in this country and turning our country into a massive refugee camp.
“I don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings, but I’ve made a choice, I believe I’ve been led by the Spirit of God and I will fight for what I believe is right within this party as I would anyway. I will never give up on my core values and principles.”
