- Femi Fani-Kayode has announced a ceasefire in his public feud with Dele Momodu after intervention from respected leaders.
- The dispute stemmed from Momodu’s criticism of President Bola Tinubu and escalated through a series of heated exchanges.
Former presidential spokesperson, Femi Fani-Kayode, has declared a truce in his war of words with media personality and Ovation magazine publisher, Dele Momodu.
The two had been engaged in a heated exchange over the past few days following comments made by Momodu about President Bola Tinubu during an appearance on Channels Television. Momodu, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), had described the president as a dictator.
Fani-Kayode responded with a strongly worded and viral social media post, which included expletives directed at Momodu. The Ovation publisher also fired back with his own article, escalating the public spat.
However, in a new development, Fani-Kayode announced a ceasefire via his 𝕏 account, citing the intervention of respected leaders.
“As a consequence of the intervention of numerous highly respected leaders for whom I have the greatest admiration, a ceasefire between myself and my friend and brother Bobby Dee is now in place.
“I will make no more comments about him and hopefully he will do same. We are both Nigerians and we share common values even though we disagree politically.
“I believe we can both move on with our lives peacefully as from today despite the hurtful things that were said on both sides over the last 24 hours.
“I thank all those that intervened and I hope that the ceasefire will hold,” he wrote.
