Recall that Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi had disclosed that the former Aviation Minister had dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, following his meeting with Governor Mai Mala-Buni, leading to speculation that he had defected to the ruling party.

In a swift reaction, Fani-Kayode admitted that he was indeed holding talks across party lines.

He, however, made it clear that he has not left the PDP.
