Wike was in the creeks when I joined PDP in 2001 — Fani-Kayode

Femi Fani-Kayode

Former aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode has fired back at Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike after the latter questioned his motive for leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Mr Fani-Kayode said in a recent interview with Cally Ikpe on AIT that Mr Wike has no right to question his integrity.

He also described Wike as a tyrant like Adolf Hitler.

“He talks about integrity, what integrity does he have? Look at his antecedents, how long has he been in PDP? I’ve been in the PDP since 2001 when he was still in the creeks,” he said.

Fani-Kayode reeled out his profile and service as minister over a decade ago.

He also accused Wike of betraying former President Goodluck Jonathan and ex-governor of Rivers State Rotimi Amaechi, alleging that Wike is the reason why three governors and some federal lawmakers left the PDP.

“He came into the PDP and behaves like a tyrant, like Hitler. Every key player that has left the PDP over the last couple of years left because of him; because of megalomania, because of his indecency, his lack of restraint, and harsh words on anyone who does not agree with him,” said Fani-Kayode.
