Femi Fani-Kayode attended best schools but ended up a thug - Dele Momodu

Ovation Magazine boss Dele Momodu has accused former Minister of Aviation and current Ambassador to Germany, Femi Fani-Kayode, of being a thug.

According to him, despite coming from a well-to-do background and attending the best schools, Fani-Kayode still ended up as a thug.

This was contained in a statement titled 'Femi Fani-Kayode: When Will You Stop Being A Thug?'

This is his latest shot in the back-and-forth between the two men after Momodu accused President Bola Tinubu of being a dictator like the late Military Head of State, General Sani Abacha.

He wrote on Facebook, "I knew Chief Babaremilekun Adetokunbo Fani-Kayode, Q.C, SAN, of blessed memory, the father of David Oluwafemi Adewunmi Abdulateef Fani-Kayode aka FFK, in Ile-Ife, long before I met his querulous, garrulous and cantankerous son.
Femi is a classic case of a wasted investment. He attended some of the best schools, pedigree and/or money could purchase, but turned out an outright and incurable thug. He went to Cambridge University, probably a 4th generation in his family, but became an enfant terrible, fighting anyone and anything, including esoteric spirits, in sight. All supplications and intercessions by friends and family on his behalf have failed to cure his strange malady. And this is the man President Bola Tinubu is about to unleash on Germany as an Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for God's sake.

"For Femi, it is a fulfilment of a long-expected appointment. We discussed it several times. And I encouraged him to be patient and prayerful. I felt his deep frustration and depression. He was already working on Plan B, and begging a few of us to help him reach out to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar (GCON), if all hopes evaporate. Femi without power is like fish out of water. It is such a pity that now that Tinubu has finally looked at his side, with mercy and compassion, he is still busy fighting, like a pig, instead of seeking urgent rehabilitation into the comity of sane human beings."
