(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos, Joe Igbokwe, has stated that the ruling party rewards and pampers enemies.

Igbokwe disclosed this as he reacted to the defection of Femi Fani-Kayode, former minister of aviation, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling party, APC.

African Examiner had reported that Fani-Kayode was formally presented to President Muhammadu Buhari as a new member of the APC on Thursday.

The defection of the former minister has since sparked reactions from many Nigerians, including members of the APC.

It could be recalled that Fani-Kayode had previously described the APC as a party of looters, saying he would rather die than join them.

Commenting on Fani-Kayode’s defection on his Facebook page, Igbokwe stated that many APC members have not been rewarded despite their loyalty to the party.

According to him, despite his work for the APC, “Abuja has not given me a phone call talk-less of inviting me for a coffee” with the president.

Igbokwe described Fani-Kayode as a “political charlatan” who was “given a red carpet in the seat of power”.

“APC reward(s) enemies. They pamper enemies. This life no balance at all,” he said.

He stated that there are “countless number of APC die-hards who are 100% better than FFK. Nobody has remembered them. Not even a recharge card, not even a bottle of coke, not even thank you”.

He tasked the ruling party to learn “consequences management,” noting that it takes “indiscipline and impunity to crush and destroy a nation”.

“Actions carry consequences,” he added.
