Abia State Govt fires back at FFK over comment on Gov Otti refusal to recognise Tinubu as president

Former Nigerian Minister of Aviation Femi Fani Kayode has come under fire for his recent rants against Governor Alex Otti, according to Ferdinand Ekeoma, the spokesman to the governor of Abia State.

On Wednesday, Kayode took a shot at the state governor, accusing him of refusing to display the official photo of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the country’s new leader, in his office because he does not recognize the former governor of Lagos as the country’s leader.

Fani-Kayode’s assertion, according to Mr. Ekeoma, was nasty and unfounded, and the government is not shocked by the former minister’s cheap pettiness and lack of etiquette, according to a statement he released in the state capital of Umuahia.

According to him, “Unlike Fani-Kayode, who had manifested his known trademark of pettiness and lack of decorum when he roundly and repeatedly abused and blackmailed President Tinubu in the past, Governor Alex Otti, in line with his upbringing, orientation, character and exposure, does not act irrationally and thus could not have under any circumstances refused to recognise President Tinubu as the President of Nigeria, especially, when he and the President enjoy a long standing relationship that transcends politics.

“Oti had President Tinubu’s picture featured prominently on the first page of his inauguration brochure, and also ensured that dozens of the president’s portraits were produced and distributed to different government offices”.

Ekeoma maintained that the ex-minister’s poor strategy of trying to use the governor’s name to secure an appointment in Tinubu’s government is dead on arrival, as the President knows Mr. Fani-Kayode is an unstable character.

Words: “The President knows that Fani-Kayode is an unstable character who is notorious for spewing venom and vituperation against the innocent for the purpose of economic survival.

“The fact that Fani-Kayode, a former minister, has reduced himself to the level of going to social media to copy fake news and use a sitting governor, shows how damaged and disoriented he has become, hence the need to say a word of prayer on his bed.

The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Abia Governor, therefore enjoined the general public to disregard the malicious allegation and see it as idle gossip from a mischief maker who, according to him, desires to sow a seed of discord and disaffection for selfish political gains.
