Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has responded strongly to media personality Dele Momodu, as the war of words between both men continues to escalate.
Fani-Kayode made his remarks in a post shared on his official X handle on Thursday, March 19, 2026, reacting to Momodu’s earlier comments and addressing both personal and political issues raised.
According to him, “Dele Momodu has got his knickers in a twist yet again. Poor soul. He is clearly tormented.” He added, “There is nothing worse than watching a man that comes from a lineage of touts and pimps blowing his gasket.”
Responding to references about his family, Fani-Kayode said, “He calls me a thug, speaks about my father and family and claims that I wanted to work with Atiku even though I left PDP in 2021.” He continued, “Say what you want about me DELE but it really doesn’t matter. My father never knew you even though you claimed he did and no-one ever knew your father.”
He further stated, “That is how inconsequential you and yours are to Nigeria’s history.” Highlighting his political background, he added, “No matter what you say about me I was born into the corridirs of power, I have been in power and I have remained relevant and active in the power configuration of our country for over 30 years.”
Fani-Kayode also took a swipe at Momodu’s past, stating, “All I know about you is that you were once a journalist, you followed Chief MKO Abiola around like a court jester and collected crumbs from him for much of your life.”
He added, “You became a hustler and a photographer after he was incarcerated and that you ran for President a number of years back and got only one vote which came from your wife.”
On current political alignments, he said, “The only thing that is important is that the man you are accusing of being a dictator and an Abacha is presently in Windsor now having dinner with the King whilst you are still in Nigeria kissing Atiku’s posterior.”
Referencing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, he stated, “Outside of that whether you like it or not President Tinubu WILL return to office and be re-elected in 2027.” He added, “Nothing you day or do about me or him can change that and this is the source of your pain.”
Fani-Kayode concluded, “I have been called to serve my country once again and that is where my focus lies. All the best.” Read_More…
