Veteran journalist and politician Dele Momodu has described President Bola Tinubu ambassadorial appointees Femi Fani-Kayode and Reno Omokri as two shameless friends who have zero credibility.
Momodu a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, was reacting to reprimands hauled at at him by the duo after he called President Tinubu a “dictator.” Writing in a statement titled ‘Reno Omokri & Femi Fani-Kayode: A Tale of Two Shameless Friends’, on his X social media platform on Wednesday, Mr. Momodu said Fani-Kayode and Reno Omokri cannot bully him into submission and stop him from expressing his political views.
“I was going to ignore these two perpetual agents of perfidy but later decided to respond to them just in case they think they could bully me into silence and submission,” Momodu began
“They both have no credibility whatsoever. Together, they’ve expressed the worst views ever about Bola Tinubu that they will never be able to erase, or clean up, in a million years, except the world finally comes to an end.
“The only reason I could adduce for Tinubu’s tolerance of both irritants is desperation and his inability to find better people to do the dirty jobs. The brains of these ones have been configured to say anything and delete immediately.
“I have never disparaged TINUBU in my life. I have never called him a murderer. I have never called him a drug baron or addict.”
He added that he stood by his words describing President Tinubu as a dictator.
“All I have accused Tinubu of is DICTATORSHIP and I stand by it with my full chest. I oppose tyranny because I once suffered under it. Chief Moshood Abiola won an election but dictatorship deprived him of his victory. Why should we replace military dictators with civilian slavemasters. That’s my only grouse against TINUBU.”
