Governor Nyesom Wike of River State has mocked the former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, over his defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Recall that Fani-Kayode had recently dumped the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and was warmly received by President Muhammadu Buhari and the Caretaker Chairman of the APC and Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Anaedoonline.ng reports that the controversial politician is expected to be formally welcomed into the APC in Abuja next week.

But in an interview with BBC News Pidgin on Friday, Wike stated that Fani-Kayode has no integrity and ideology, saying that he is not friends with the former minister
The Rivers governor accused Fani-Kayode of defecting to the APC just to find something to eat, adding that the ex-minister is only after enriching himself.
“I don’t know why people are shocked by Fani Kayode’s defection. People make the mistake of taking vocal everybody serious.
“Some people talk just for people to find them something to eat, some people talk because of the problems they have, so that they can be saved — if they will be saved.
