Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has questioned a decision by former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Recall that reports in the media on Saturday, said Obanikoro had defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Reacting to the report, Fani-Kayode who spent about a month together in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) with Obanikoro in October 2016, described the decision as ‘saddening’.
The PDP chieftain noted that it was unfortunate that Obanikoro would agree to join the camp of those who had been persecuting him.
According to him, “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,” Fani-Kayode added.
