- Says How FFK, Omokri Can Continue To Harass People On Behalf Of A Tinubu They’ve Permanently Damaged Baffles Me
A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu has hit back at Reno Omokri and Femi Fani-Kayode, insisting he will not be “bullied into silence” after the duo attacked him over his criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
TheMatrix Newspaper reports that trouble started when Momodu in an interview made remarks questioning aspects of President Tinubu’s administration.
Responding, Omokri and FFK separately criticized Dele Momodu over his comments on the President.
In a strongly worded statement titled “Reno Omokri & Femi Fani-Kayode: A Tale of Two Shameless Friends”, posted on his X (Twitter) handle, Momodu said he initially intended to ignore them but decided to respond to avoid being “bullied into silence and submission.”
He described them as “perpetual agents of perfidy” with no credibility
“They both have no credibility whatsoever,” he said, adding that the two men had previously made damaging comments about Tinubu that “they will never be able to erase”.
The Ovation Magazine publisher also dismissed claims that he had made baseless allegations against the President.
“I have never disparaged Tinubu in my life. I have never called him a murderer. I’m intelligent enough not to say what I have no proof of,” he stated.
Clarifying his position, Momodu maintained that his only accusation against Tinubu is what he described as “dictatorship”.
“All I have accused Tinubu of is dictatorship and I stand by it with my full chest,” he said, noting that his stance is shaped by Nigeria’s history of military rule.
He further revealed that he had previously toned down his criticism of the President out of respect for elder statesmen and past associations.
Momodu also alleged that both Omokri and Fani-Kayode had, at different times, privately reached out to him for support or reconciliation despite publicly attacking him.
“How Femi and Reno can continue to harass people on behalf of a Tinubu they’ve permanently damaged baffles me,” he added.
