‘Top PDP members were paid by APC to work against us,’ ex-minister says

Fani-Kayode also denied claims that the hate campaign launched against the APC by him and some others in the PDP was responsible for the latter party’s defeat.

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has said that two members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were working for the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the recently concluded general elections.

The former spokesperson for the PDP Presidential Campaign Organization bared his mind on the subject on Tuesday, May 20, 2015, while speaking to journalists in Abuja.

“I do not want to rock the boat out of respect for our President and our party elders; otherwise I would say a lot more that will shock the nation and the party faithful. I have a whole file on it which we compiled during the campaign. Two members of the NWC specifically were actually working for the APC and were on their payroll,” Fani-Kayode said.

“That is just one shocker and there are plenty more. The time to talk is not now. That time will come. You will be shocked by what we know about these people and their sordid efforts to stop Jonathan and betray their own party. The truth is that the NWC has to go and I add my voice to that of Govs. Aliyu Babaginda, Sule Lamido, Ayodele Fayose and that of so many other people,” he added.

Fani-Kayode and the mentioned governors have also called for the resignation of party Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu who they blamed for the party’s defeat.
