I joined APC because of love for Nigeria, Fani-Kayode Speaks on defection

 

Former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode has said he joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) because of his love for Nigeria.

 

Fani-Kayode spoke after his introduction to President Muhammadu Buhari by Chairman of the APC’s Caretaker Committee Governor Mai Mala Buni and Zamfara Governor Bello Matawale at the Presidential Villa, Abuja as the newest member of the party.

 

The former Minister, who recalled he was a founding member of the ruling party in 2013, also said he decided to return to the party to join in efforts to save the nation.

 

Fani-Kayode speaking to newsmen said: “The point is that I felt that this was the appropriate time to do the right thing, to put Nigeria first and to appreciate the efforts that have been made, particularly in the last couple of years in terms of security, fighting insurgency, fighting terrorism, and most importantly, is the appreciation of the fact that we must remain one as a nation, build bridges, work together to move the country forward.

 

“It’s very important for us to appreciate the fact that when we see that there are good things that are happening, we appreciate those good things, it’s not always negative and when the time is right, we change direction to join forces and join hands to move the country forward.

 

“Doing this doesn’t mean we’re enemies to anybody. All of us, even if we’re in another party, the PDP or any other party or any other group, we can still work together across party lines, regional lines, ethnic lines, and religious lines, the most important thing is for us to understand and appreciate the fact that Nigeria must not disintegrate and those that want us to end up fighting one another in a war will be put to shame.

 

“There are people that think like that and that is what informed me to come here to meet Mr. President, he was very gracious, he was very good to me today, spoke so well and it’s an honour for me to be here and we will move the country forward together.”

Having the right mindset is important to position you as a great, and exceptional writer. The following are fundamental mindset you must have as a writer:   1. See your writing as an art: See yourself as an artist, when you do so, the level of attention you give to your writing will differ. Go beyond being a good writer. Think of a painter or an artist, how they meticulously draw and blend colours, I'm sure you'll agree with me that they pay a lot of attention.   You don't use words just because they are good or sound nice, but because it fits perfectly into your story and what it is you want to convey.
