Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted to the announcement by Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, that he is no longer with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ortom made the declaration at the banquet hall of the Government House in Makurdi, the state capital on Monday.
He spoke while swearing in the newly appointed Special Adviser on Local Government and Cheftaincy Affairs, Jerome Torshimbe.
Ortom’s Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase, quoted the governor as saying that, “As for party, I’ve been given the red card and I’m now outside the pitch.
“So, if I have been given the red card and I’m standing outside, that means I’m a free man.”
In response, Fani-Kayode, a chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) expressed excitement at the development.
“We are delighted he Governor Ortom has seen the light and has left the path of darkness”, he told DAILY POST.
“It is a right step that will break the yoke of bondage the good people of Benue have suffered over the years. I congratulate him,” he added.
