Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has reacted to the comments of an aide to Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu in the Sun Newspaper of 9th September, where she turned down the withdrawal of the statement he earlier made about their “intimate affair”.According to the former beauty queen, a mere apology by the ex-aide to former President Olusegun Obasanjo was “not enough” Fani-Kayode has edited the said article, ensured that no newspaper in Nigeria that published it mentioned their names in the revised version, admitted that the word ”intimate” that was used in the online version of the article was ”indiscreet” and has bent over backwards to tread the path of peace and to appease all those concerned. Continuing, “Despite all these efforts Bianca Ojukwu has refused to be appeased or to let go and she has continued to peddle the shameless lie that she has never met Chief Fani-Kayode.
This is sad and unfortunate and it is beyond the imagination of anyone that a serving Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria would so readily and so easily be given to telling such lies. He said it is clear that Bianca Ojukwu is desperate to go to war over this issue and to cover up the truth about their past. “It is also clear that she has constituted herself into the arrowhead of a group of people that are determined to use her and this whole unsavoury episode to attempt to distract attention from the wider and more important issues raised in the essay and to discredit him. Since that is the case we welcome whatever action Ojukwu wishes to take in court and we shall gladly meet her there. We will also be instigating our own legal proceedings against her in due course for her barefaced and malicious lies and her consistent claim that she has never met Chief Fani-Kayode all in an attempt to libel, defame, diminish and discredit him before the entire world. The statement added that the precise nature of that relationship between the two will be explored and exposed in open court.
