A former Minister of Aviation in Nigeria, Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted to a trending video where he responded angrily to a Daily Trust journalist's question at a Press Conference in Calabar, Cross River State.
AllNews reports that Fani-Kayode via his verified Twitter handle on Tuesday said the journalist's question is 'an insult'.
While stating that he has 'no apology to offer' for his reaction, 'FFK' also revealed that the pressman who he claimed asked: "well, we do not know who is bankrolling you", has apologised.
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart went further to allege that the assertion by the journalist was 'clearly sponsored and engineered by my political enemies'.
During my tour of the South and after a long and successful press conference in Calabar, Cross Rivers state, a journalist put up his hand for the last question and said,
"Well we do not know who is bankrolling you".
This is not a question but an assertion and an insult...1/4 pic.twitter.com/uWImIknjN3— Femi Fani-Kayode (@realFFK) August 25, 2020
...And if this insulting ASSERTION were made before Trump or OBJ I know how they would have reacted. Above is my response & I have no apology to offer for it. The young man apologised to me during the press conference & sent his apologies to me after the conference.. 2/4

..I have accepted his apologies & moved on. I have always had respect for journalists & always will. Those of them that know me or worked with or for me over the last 30 years can attest to that. However there is a distinction between asking a question & offering an insult.3/4

...This is all the more so when it is clear that the assertion was sponsored and engineered by my political enemies who wanted to use the young man to insult and embarrass me and question my integrity. Well they got more than they bargained for. 4/5

...I repeat this was not a question but an assertion and an gratutious insult and I will not accept that from any man born of woman. Thank you.
