A former minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has slammed the reported plans of his former colleague, former minister of state for Defence Senator Musiliu Obanikoro to join the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Obanikoro was said to have reached out to his estranged political benefactor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on his intention to return back into the progressives fold.
Fani-kayode in a Facebook post states, “My brother, Musiliu Obanikoro’s decision to join the APC irks and saddens me. I say this because I have always loved him and I care. You cannot fight evil by joining it. You cannot bring light by entering the darkness. You cannot find joy by partaking in the bread of sorrows.
“You cannot run away in the heat of battle. You must have the courage of your convictions. Where is your honour? Where is your strength? Where is your dignity? Where is your self-respect? Where is your sense of self-worth?
“You and I are royalty. We are princes and kings and children of the living God. We were taught and brought up to fight to the end and never to bow to the enemy.
“We were taught never to flinch before oppression. We were taught never to give in to our worst fears and to those who hate us and who despise our people. We were taught never to crawl on the floor and be slaves to our fellow men.”
The party leadership will formally discuss the return of Obanikoro this week.
