 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chieftain and former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has made fun of former Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki, for trying to stop ex-President Goodluck Jonathan from joining the All Progressives Congress APC.

Saraki, who returned to the PDP prior to the 2019 general elections, recently led the party’s reconciliation committee on a visit to Jonathan.

Fani-Kayode describes the move of the former Senate President as an irony of life.

He said Saraki, who abandoned Jonathan and led the exodus of party members from the PDP in 2014 and caused his (Jonathan) defeat in 2015, is now leading another team to try to stop the former President from leaving the party.

 “Interesting to note that the man that led the team to GEJ’s house to appeal to him not to leave the PDP yesterday is the same man that led the rebellion against him & the defection of Governors from the same party in 2014 & cost him the 2015 presidential election. What an irony!” Fani-Kayode tweeted.

The Saraki-led PDP reconciliation committee visited Jonathan amid speculations that the ruling APC was enticing Jonathan with its presidential ticket come 2023.
