A former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has withdrawn
the statement credited to him that he had an intimate relationship with
the wife of the late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and Nigeria’s
Ambassador to Spain, Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu.
Fani-Kayode had in his article, entitled: “Neither a tribalist nor a hater,” published on NigerianEYE, claimed to have met with Bianca when she was Miss
Bianca Onoh at the Cambridge College and had “intimate” relationship
with her together with two other Igbo ladies.
Fani-Kayode, also a former Minister of Culture, in a statement by his
lawyer, Mr. Akinola Babatunde Rotimi, however, said the claim by Bianca
that they were not friends and had never met was ‘patently false'.
The former minister, who was also a spokesman of former President
Olusegun Obasanjo, insisted that he knew Bianca in the early mid-80s
when he was a student at the London and Cambridge Universities
respectively.
He noted that they were good friends at the time and had a few mutual friends who are still alive till date.
The statement stated that though he had not seen Bianca for over 25
years, he spoke to her on the phone when her husband passed on last
year.
Fani-Kayode had in an article titled: “Neither a tribalist nor a hater,' published on NE to
defend himself over his write-up on the relocation of some Igbo to
Anambra State by the Lagos State Government, alleging that he had “a
long standing and intimate relationship with Bianca Onoh."
But Bianca had through an advertorial published in some national
newspapers, demanded an apology and a complete retraction of the
statement within seven days or she would institute a legal action
against the former minister.
The Fani-Kayode statement read:
“Our client knew Ambassador Bianca
Ojukwu in the early to mid-80's when he was a student at London
University and Cambridge University respectively.
“They were good friends at the time and they had a few mutual friends
who are still alive today. The bizarre, absurd and inexplicable
assertion that they were not friends and that Ambassador Ojukwu has
never met our client is patently false.
“Though he has not seen her for over 25 years, he spoke to her on the phone when her husband passed on last year. As our client said earlier through his press secretary, some of the words he used to describe his friendship with her in his article titled: 'A Word For Those Who Call Me A Tribalist' were indiscreet. He hereby withdraws them."
NigerianEYE also gathered from sources close to Fani-Kayode that the former
aviation minister was making efforts through emissaries close to Bianca
to reach out to her to resolve the disagreement.
The sources said the former minister was concerned that the issue had
degenerated and would want a resolution on the misunderstanding.

I taught you were man enough to own your words? Why are you retracing your steps??? Crazy Coward!!!
ReplyDeleteJunky 'fan' kayode,ur inconsistencies are the only consistent thing about ur penchant for spewn lies

ReplyDeleteThat is yoruba man for you.
ReplyDeleteA real gentleman. However, he didn't lie.
ReplyDeletei dont knw wt2say. he is still claiming dt they were friends
ReplyDeleteFani POWER! Why d U turn? Elenu gbomgbon.
ReplyDeleteYoruba men only have mouth. Talk talk talk talk, shout shout and make noise. There strenght is in there mouth.
ReplyDeleteWith this you will know that the stupid ffk is not a man but a woman.
Even if they were friends, it sounds stupid to be telling the whole world names of people you had intimate relationship with. What point was he trying to make without being discrete? Leaking mouth. It is a shame coming from an ex minister.- AJ
ReplyDeleteI sympathize with anyone close to this man. He may soon start publishing nude pictures of people he knows. He has not represented his tribe well and neither does his point of view portray him as a national leader.
ReplyDeleteso bianca was right,femi pls mind how u re damaging people's reputation.
ReplyDeleteBetter. It is the most noble thing to do.
ReplyDeleteFFK is does not represent the Yorubas and Yorubas are not coward. The coward here is FFK. No hasty generaloization cos we need peace. Emeka.
ReplyDeleteFool Fanny-In-The-Wrong Place-Kayode has started unravelling. First in the kitty is the part retraction. I expect this to get to court so he will loose the little money he stole from Ministry of Aviation. Tomorrow they will call him a Yoruba Leader and expect the Yoruba nation to have some iota of respect amongst their peers. For what its worth, The Yoruba Nation should collectively and resoundingly disavow this aanomaly and severe genetic error. But then again like Dr Doyin Okupe, he is serving their purpose.
ReplyDeleteThis man must think everyone is as foolish as he is. In his statement he clearly claimed he had a long-standing intimate relationship with those three ladies. Now he wants to give us the impression he met with her at the Cambridge & London Universities. Do being friends with someone & having INTIMATE relationship with mean the same thing? His using it as a reference in the context he did suggested there was more to their relationship than being just friends as he wants us to believe now. FFK upon all this grammer wey dey blow since,you no get COMMON SENSE. Your involving your lawyer in this issue is a clear indication of falsity as we know lawyers are professionals when it comes to defending lies & criminals.......Anyim
ReplyDeleteWhy did you not make a list of all your friends & publish as reference. Yeye minister!
ReplyDeleteFemi must be a liar."Bianca was The sixth child of former Anambra governor Christian Onoh, Odumegwu-Ojukwu was educated in Enugu and Yorkshire, but spent most of her childhood in rural Udi. She obtained her A-Levels from Cambridge Tutorial College, and soon began a combined honours degree in Politics, Economics and Law at the University of Buckingham, but transferred to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka as her father, who was from a family of lawyers, wanted his children to join his firm in Nigeria and insisted she concentrated solely on Law. Following her graduation she attended the Nigerian Law School which eventually led to her call to the bar. How could they be friend 2 an extent being intimate. FFk, I a big liar
ReplyDeleteFani made a mistake and he is man enough to admit it publicly.He has shown that he is bold enough to hold his view publicly, and that he is human and can make mistakes. That is integrity and strengrh of character which are lacking seriously among Nigerian leaders.I am waiting for Peter Obi to admit his error in misrepresenting the material facts in his statement or Orji Kalu to admit its a lie that igbos contribute 55% of revenue in Lagos.They have both buried their heads in the sand like the ostrich....typical.
ReplyDeleteAn Igbo man's strength is in the way he can lie
ReplyDelete"D Trigger has been pulled; there is no holding bk d bullet"!!! It is a SHAME dt a man dt is well read and exposed as FFK culd be turned 2 a public ridicule as a result of not guarding his "Basket mouth"! I really feel sorry 4 dis man ooo! I pray d victims of his stupidity find a place in their heart 2 4give him otherwise...
ReplyDeleteIt is likely FFK MASTURBATED with the picture of the DAMSEL in mind and imagined how IKEMBA will be enjoying the "something" all alone. He just realised that it was only an imagination. BIANCA should let the court retrieve part of FFK's stolen money.
ReplyDeletePeople should get upgraded in wisdom. Do you want FFK to produce evidences? He said he withdrawn his statement... what else did you want him to say. He might have made some mouth-leaked mistakes, but, its a bad thing to open up your relationship with an opposite sex partner. He has regretted it. Bianca and FFK both understood this. Please stop extending the disgrace to Bianca by pretending you are fighting FFK. We the family and friends of Bianca Didn't want to see much of this online. If ffk has anything to do with Bianca, its never you people business. STOP ALL ..please stop it. Writer, be guided!!
ReplyDeletei dont like tribal comments.u can refer to ffk but not yoruba people.honestly if we cant appreciate anything of d yorubas,we must appreciate d fact that its not of their culture to spill blood.we have suffered to many massacre in d north right from independence till recent times
ReplyDeleteMr Big mouth,u have not only proved to us how cowardly u are,u hv also put a question mark on the integrity of so called tribe so much defend n boost of everyday on the media.from d begining,i had anticipated the matter to end the way it did, knowing fully well that ur so called superior tribe will always chicken out when d stacks ar high.Fooooooools!!
ReplyDeleteAm man running mouth like women,why can'nt u let go the igbos ,and maintain ur prestige.
ReplyDeleteFfk u better leave widows,and intimate- relationship with women ,and think out something better to offer to ur generation,don't make people sware for u over ur running mouth. U should be a man enough,with ur education to close ur mouth and think about ur future,and not devicing means to dent peoples image.
ReplyDeleteAm man running mouth like women,why can'nt u let go the igbos ,and maintain ur prestige.
ReplyDeleteI tink u all need to check ur dictionaries for d meaning of intimate.Bianca is nt fighting bcz d word "intimate" bt maintained dt they were neva frnds.so wat y'all dump-ass ar all killin ursef abt?
