A former Aviation Minister and now Director New Media sub-committee of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Femi Fani-Kayode has dismissed those calling him a hypocrite for supporting former Governor of Lagos State and the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu he spent years calling unprintable names.
Fani-Kayode who is a former member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had made disturbing accusations against Tinubu and President Buhari before he eventually defected to the APC, same party he demonized for years.
While being lambasted for speaking from both sides of his mouth and described as a man lacking integrity, Fani-Kayode said he has now seen the light.
He told those who do not want to accept his political stand to ‘go and die.’
He took to his social media page and wrote: “Circulating essays I wrote years ago against @officialABAT changes nothing. I was in People’s Pigs Party then but saw the light and left the swine. Been in APC since & have fought for Asiwaju to win with every fibre of my being. Those that are unhappy with that can drop dead.”
