In the aftermath of the declaration by Bianca Ojukwu,
Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain, that she was unsatisfied
with the apology issued by the former Aviation Minister,
Femi Fani-Kayode, the latter has decided to take a
belligerent position.
Mr. Fani-Kayode, in a statement by his Personal
Assistant, Tosin Emmanuel, said that he welcomes
“whatever course of action” Mrs. Ojukwu’s lawyer
intends to pursue.
The former minister also said that he would institute his
own legal proceedings against the widow of the late
Biafran warlord “for her barefaced and malicious lies and
consistent claim” that she has never met him.
After claiming, in his controversial piece ‘A Word For
Those Who Call Me A Tribalist’ that he had had a “long-
standing and intimate relationship” with Mrs. Ojukwu while
she was unmarried; Mr. Fani-Kayode Thursday, withdrew
the comment.
Mr. Fani-Kayode had also extended his ‘retraction’ to
Adaobi Uchegbu and Chioma Anasoh, the two other ladies
he mentioned in his article.
But Mrs. Ojukwu, in her response, stated that Mr. Fani-
Kayode’s statement “falls far short of an apology and
retraction.”
“Whilst it is important to reiterate that Ambassador
Bianca Ojukwu has never met Chief Femi Kayode and
does not know him in person, it is pertinent to note that
the statement issued through Mr Akinola Babatunde
Rotimi, falls far short of an apology and retraction of
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode’s false and libelous outbursts and
is merely a desperate attempt to lend credence to
fabrications, which he seeks to present as reality with
intent to gloss over the very serious issues arising from
the reckless publication,” Mrs. Ojukwu said in a statement
by her Personal Assistant, Isaac Igboanu.
“In the circumstances, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu is left
with no option than to leave the matter in the hands
of her lawyers,” she added.
The former beauty queen’s reply angered Mr. Fani-
Kayode who responded, on Monday, with a tersely
worded statement saying that Mrs. Ojukwu’s demeanour
indicates that she is desperate to go to war over the
issue as well as cover up “the truth about their past.”
“We really do wonder what Mrs. Ojukwu really wants
from Chief Fani-Kayode and what her agenda really is?
“Throughout this matter Chief Fani-Kayode has chosen
the path of peace and has attempted to avoid an ugly
and public quarrel with Bianca Ojukwu out of respect to
the memory of her late father Chief C.C. Onoh and
the memory of her late husband, Dim Emeka
Odumegwu-Ojukwu,” Mr. Fani-Kayode said.
The ex-minister stated that despite “bending over
backwards” to publicly withdraw his comments in several
national and online newspapers, Mrs. Ojukwu has refused
to be appeased.
“This is sad and unfortunate and it is beyond the
imagination of anyone that a serving Ambassador of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria would so readily and so easily
be given to telling such lies.
“Chief Fani-Kayode is not comfortable with publicly joining
issues with ladies when it comes to matters of a private
nature such as this because he was well brought up and
he is a gentleman but it is clear that Bianca Ojukwu is
desperate to go to war over this issue and to cover up
the truth about their past,” said Mr. Fani-Kayode.
“It is also clear that she has constituted herself into the
arrowhead of a group of people that are determined to
use her and this whole unsavoury episode to attempt to
distract attention from the wider and more important
issues raised in the essay and to discredit him.
“Since that is the case we welcome whatever action
Ojukwu wishes to take in court and we shall gladly meet
her there.
“We will also be instigating our own legal proceedings
against her in due course for her barefaced and malicious
lies and her consistent claim that she has never met
Chief Fani-Kayode all in an attempt to libel, defame,
diminish and discredit him before the entire world,” he
added.
Mr. Fani-Kayode reiterated that not only did he have a
relationship with Mrs. Ojukwu, but that he “knew her
far better than she cares to publicly admit.”
“The precise nature of that relationship will be explored
and exposed in open court,” Mr. Fani-Kayode said.
“It is not in the nature of Chief Fani-Kayode to fight
unnecessary and distractive battles over flippant matters
such as this but on this occasion he has been compelled to
do so simply because he will do whatever it takes to
protect his integrity and establish the fact that he has
told no lie.
“Since she has continued her shameless perfidy and wishes
to tread the path of deceit and confrontation then so
be it.
“Finally let it be clearly understood that at no point did
Chief Fani-Kayode lie about the nature of his relationship
with Ojukwu. However he did not feel that it was
appropriate or necessary to share the details of that
relationship with the public because he felt that such
matters were strictly private.
“The fact that she mistook his mature exercise of
restraint and discretion, even when provoked and insulted,
his desire for peace and his gentlemanly nature for
weakness is not only unfortunate but also a grave
miscalculation on her part.
“Once again we reiterate the fact that we counsel
Ojukwu to take whatever course of action she pleases
and we welcome this opportunity to expose her for what
she is.
“The matter has been referred to our lawyers for final
preparation. They will prepare a vigorous defence to
Ojukwu’s absurd allegations and they will also determine
our next line of action against her,” Mr. Fani-Kayode said.
