A Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] stalwart, Femi Fani-Kayode, has lambasted former governor of Ogun State, Gbenga Daniel, for dumping the party.

Mr Daniels had in a letter dated 14 March 2019 written to PDP national chairman, Uche Secondus, that he was quitting the party and partisan politics as well.

However, on Sunday, his supporters and loyalists converged at his Asoludero residence in Sagamu, demanding he leads them to the ruling All Progressives Congress [APC].

Reacting to the turn of events on Monday, Mr Fani-Kayode – a former minister of Aviation – said that it was ‘tragic’ for Daniels to dump the PDP presidential candidate in the February 23 election, Atiku Abubakar, before the petition at the tribunal had been decided.

In a series of tweets, Fani-Kayode wrote:

 “For the 1st DG of @atiku’s PCO and his closest confidante in SW to dump @OfficialPDPNig and join @OfficialAPCNg before the conclusion of Atiku’s election petition is sad. For a man that was gunning to be SGF in an Atiku govt. to join Buhari after Atiku was rigged out is tragic!”

“For a man that was @atiku’s spokesman to say he was not a member of @OfficialPDPNig but still a member of @OfficialAPCNg 3 days before the pres. election was sad. For that man to have won only 2 votes for Atiku in his polling booth and lost his ward/LGA to Buhari is tragic.

“For the 2nd DG of @atiku’s PCO and his closest confidante in the NC to lose every single LGA in his state to Buhari during the pres. election is sad. For that same man to win only 2 wards in his entire state for @OfficialPDPNig and Atiku during that same pres. election is tragic.”
