Musiliu Obanikoro, a former minister of state for defence and chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party, has refuted reports that he has decamped to the All Progressives Congress, APC. In an exclusive chat with Signal, an online newspaper, on Sunday, May 7, 2017, Senator Obanikoro said he has not decamped anywhere. Asked why he was not reacting to news reports claiming his exit from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he said; “Why should I react to speculations? At no point did I confirm to anyone that I was decamping or have decamped from PDP.” Describing reactions to his alleged exit from the PDP as premature, he wondered why some of those reacting did not make any efforts to clarify with him before running to town to react to the news. Femi Fani-Kayode, a former aviation minister and also a chieftain of the PDP, said on Sunday he is saddened by Obanikoro’s decision to join the APC. In a statement, Fani-Kayode said; “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,” he maintained. The Nation reported that the former high commissioner to Ghana may have made up his mind to dump the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and pitch his political tent with the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
