Thursday, March, 19 2026 - A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu, has fired back at Reno Omokri and Femi Fani-Kayode, describing them as “perpetual agents of perfidy” lacking credibility.
In a statement titled ‘Reno Omokri & Femi Fani-Kayode: A
Tale of Two Shameless Friends’, posted on his X handle on Wednesday, Momodu
responded to separate attacks by the duo over his remarks on the administration
of President Bola Tinubu.
Momodu said he initially intended to ignore the criticisms
but chose to reply to avoid being “bullied into silence and submission”.
“They both have no credibility whatsoever,” he said, adding
that the two men had previously made damaging comments about Tinubu that “they
will never be able to erase”.
The Ovation Magazine publisher also dismissed claims that he
had made baseless allegations against the President.
“I have never disparaged Tinubu in my life. I have never
called him a murderer. I’m intelligent enough not to say what I have no proof
of,” he stated.
Clarifying his position, Momodu maintained that his only
accusation against Tinubu is what he described as “dictatorship”.
“All I have accused Tinubu of is dictatorship and I stand by
it with my full chest,” he said, noting that his stance is shaped by Nigeria’s
history of military rule.
He further revealed that he had previously toned down his
criticism of the President out of respect for elder statesmen and past
associations.
Momodu also alleged that both Omokri and Fani-Kayode had, at
different times, privately reached out to him for support or reconciliation
despite publicly attacking him.
“How Femi and Reno can continue to harass people on behalf
of a Tinubu they’ve permanently damaged baffles me,” he added.
