The statement read:

“Fani-Kayode is a man who has brazenly supported secessionists, irredentists and separatists. Nigeria drifted to the precipice of war and destruction as a result of the agitations of the groups supported by him, today, FFK in his new camp is most likely to promote a united Nigeria.
“His son, Chief Femi Fani Kayode, has today replicated the same handshake across the Niger. FFK’s change of heart should be seen from a positive angle, particularly by those who mean well for Nigeria."

MURIC also praised Buhari for his patience and fatherly dispensation towards his critics.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that a chieftain of the ruling of APC, Salihu Moh Lukman, revealed why speculations rise over the alleged plan by former president Goodluck Jonathan to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

It was reported that Lukman said the PDP's failure to recognise and appreciate Jonathan has been cited as a reason for his speculated plan to dump the opposition party for the APC.

He described Jonathan’s possible defection to the APC as a big gamble, saying that the ex-president can serve well in the capacity of a member of yet to be constituted APC Board of Trustees (BoT).
