Fani-kayode Apologises To Ex-president OBJ by OAM4J: 5:31am On Aug 25, 2011
[size=13pt]Fani-Kayode apologises to ex-President[/size]

Ex-Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, yesterday apologised to former President Olusegun Obasanjo over the attack on his ex-principal.

He said his statement on Sunday was misunderstood because he only went on historical excursion in his comments.

But he continued his plea that  Obasanjo and ex-military President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida to reconcile their differences amicably.

The ex-minister, who apologised to Obasanjo in a statement in Abuja, said he did not at any time describe the former President as an ingrate.

Fani-Kayode, on Sunday, took a swipe at Obasanjo over his vitriolic attacks that  Babangida was a fool at 70.

He had said Obasanjo made a grave mistake and inflicted a deep spiritual wound on himself by insulting Babangida.

But Fani-Kayode yesterday recanted his verbal attacks on Obasanjo.

He said: “It is with the utmost urgency and sadness that I have to point out the fact that the press statement that I issued on August 22,  2011, concerning the face-off between President Olusegun Obasanjo and General Ibrahim Babangida, has been completely misconstrued and misunderstood by virtually all and sundry.

“I do not blame anyone for this but my own good self given that my choice of words was clearly ambivalent.

“For the purposes of clarification, permit me to point out the following. At no point in time did I say that President Obasanjo was “ungrateful” or that he was “an ingrate” and neither did I ever “slam” or “attack” or seek to “insult” or “demean” him in anyway.

“This was never my intention and given the strong relationship that I have with him, I would be the last person on earth to do such a thing.

“In the press statement, I pointed out the fact that I proudly served in his administration and that his government had records of performance between 1999 and 2007 was not only “first class” but also “second to none”.

“I also said that I remain eternally grateful to him for giving me the opportunity to serve my country and that I had deep affection and tremendous respect for him just as I do for General Babangida. At the end of the statement I concluded by expressing the hope that they settle the said rift as quickly as possible.”

Hey Kayode, pay attention boy!

YOU DON'T REACT BEFORE YOU THINK, YOU THINK AND THEN REACT.

Now that you've swallowed the bullet, it makes no sense to attempt to vomit the bullet, especially when you're dealing with someone like Obasanjo, who simply finds it extremely difficult to forgive.
You should have just gone with the flow by sticking to your comment.
Even IBB did not apologize, he simply made a U-turn systematically by stating that he has nothing but love for Obasanjo.
Kayode, you're the most senseless flipflopper of the year.

Ass licking bastard, the nation is what it is today because clowns like Kayode found themselves piloting the affairs of over one hundred and fifty million peoples. Buffoons who who talk before they reason, clowns who deny even the statements they issued in prints, were given positions meant for noble minds. Then why ask why nothing works in Nigeria? embarassed embarassed embarassed

This is the type of people that thinks they have all it takes to rule this country; what a disgrace.
Knowing BABA's antecedent, no amount of apology can eraze his purnishment. FOOL FANI KAYODE.

Why waste your time talking about Fani Power junior? He is a spoilt child period. Go back to his background you will stop wasting your time on him Is this not the same youngman that took on many Nigerian elders and tongue-lashed them when he was Obasanjo's minister? He is a bloody loose tongue who wants to announce that he is still around to be appointed a minister, and dont be too sure that he wont get it because this is an era of compensating old Nigerian politicians dead or living. He may fill his father's quota. Dont write him off, pls

Being eternally grateful to someone is worse than slavery. It takes away your freedom ,your honor, your guts, your psyche  soul and spirit. Such a man is lifeless and sterile. His ability to make sensible decisions has been taken away. He cannot preside over the affairs of men. But these are the people we have and had as leaders.
Re: Fani-kayode Apologises To Ex-president OBJ by YoursGEJ(m): 10:01am On Aug 25, 2011
he was misunderstood?! Is he telling that to illiterates who cannot read and comprehend? That he was drunk while making that statement would have been a better excuse. And these are the kinds of intellectually incompetent buffons who occupy high-level government offices. Fooli.s.h f.o.ol
