In a recent statement via his official X account, former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has intensified his criticism of media entrepreneur Dele Momodu, launching a strongly worded personal and political attack in response to recent disagreements.
”He failed in all these endeavours and everything he attempted to do always crashed. So he went into politics, ran for President and got one vote. His ambition crashed. He became a spokesman for Atiku and was the only person that did not want power to come to the South in 2023. We are approaching 2027 and he wants power to go back to the North already calling PBAT who once fed him a dictator. Is this guy ok at all?” he wrote.
In his post, Fani-Kayode accused Momodu of inconsistency and disloyalty in his political journey, he traced Momodu’s early life and career, alleging that he rose from humble beginnings to become a journalist and publisher, but has repeatedly shifted alliances over the years.
He referenced Momodu’s past association with late businessman and politician Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, claiming that despite initial loyalty, their relationship later deteriorated, he also mentioned Momodu’s connections with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, suggesting that the relationship changed over time.
Fani-Kayode further alleged that Momodu has moved between several political figures, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, often falling out with them after periods of alignment.
According to Fani-Kayode, this pattern reflects a broader issue of instability and opportunism, he claimed that Momodu’s political ambitions, including his past presidential bid, did not succeed and argued that his influence has declined in recent years.
The former minister criticized Momodu’s recent political stance ahead of the 2027 elections, accusing him of attempting to return to northern political circles while opposing President Tinubu’s leadership.
Fani-Kayode alleged that Momodu’s relationships with key political figures tend to end in conflict, citing examples of past alliances that reportedly broke down and suggested that such patterns raise concerns about trust and consistency. Read_More…
