Femi Fani-Kayode, the former Minister of Aviation has criticised former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio over his reason for dumping the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom had on Saturday said he defected to APC because he discovered that the former ruling party was about to sink.

But the former minister while reacting to the release of former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose from EFCC custody questioned the gender and character of Akpabio.

He queried him for joining ‘fold of the persecutors of his people.’

Fani-Kayode in a post on Twitter wrote: “I commend my brother, Gov. Fayose for his courage and boldness in the face of persecution by the agents of tyranny.

“Now that he is out of detention, can we ask what manner of man is Akpabio, who caved in, turned to a woman and joined the fold of the persecutors of his people?
