A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, is now financially broke and already sold some of his properties, SaharaReporters has gathered.

According to family sources, Fani-Kayode, who may soon join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) six years after he left for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is financially down and struggling to maintain his extravagant lifestyle.

The former minister had on Monday met with the Yobe State Governor and Chairman of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Mai Mala Buni and Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello at Buni’s guest house in Abuja.

The closed-door meeting, which lasted for about an hour, was brokered by Bello, who is also the Chairman of the party’s mobilisation and sensitisation committee for the ongoing membership registration and revalidation exercise.

Explaining why he met APC leaders, Fani-Kayode, a staunch critic of the ruling party, claimed the meeting centred on how to move Nigeria forward.

“Yesterday I had the honour & privilege of having a very productive & important meeting with the Nat. Chairman of the APC, Gov. Mai Buni of Yobe state & Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi state. We discussed the state of the nation, national issues, party politics & the way forward.

“These meetings are wide-ranging & ongoing & I am delighted to be involved in them. Despite the obvious benefits & wisdom in this noble initiative it amazes me that some people should feel that it is wrong for me to sit with other leaders in the country to discuss issues which touch and concern the national cohesion, future and stability of our country.


“This is a time in which we must set all our differences aside, build bridges and come together as one lest our country drifts into fratricidal butchery and civil war. It is right & proper for us to talk & to attempt to join hands across political, religious & regional lines to save Nigeria,” he posted on Twitter.

However, sources revealed that the former minister, apart from being broke, is also afraid of getting the ‘Olisa Metuh treatment’ meted out to him in his ongoing multi-billion naira corruption cases.

Metuh, a former National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, was convicted of money laundering by a Federal High Court in Abuja in February 2020.

Metuh and his company, Destra Investment Limited, had been prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for the N400 million he allegedly received from the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) in 2014.

However, the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, in December 2020, nullified the seven-year jail sentence given to the former PDP spokesperson, saying the Justice Okon Abang was biased in the handling of the cases.

Fani-Kayode was arraigned in 2016, alongside a former Minister of State for Finance, Nenadi Usman; Danjuma Yusuf, and a firm, Joint Trust Dimensions Ltd over N4.9bn alleged fraud.

The former minister, who was also the Director of Publicity for ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s presidential campaign organisation for the 2015 election, was accused of conspiring with the others to, directly and indirectly, retain various sums which the EFCC claimed they ought to have reasonably known were proceeds of crime.

In one of the counts, the defendants were accused of conspiring among themselves to “indirectly retain the sum of N1,500, 000,000.00 which sum you reasonably ought to have known forms part of the proceeds of an unlawful act to wit: stealing.”

The four were also accused of indirectly retaining N300m, N400m and N800m, all proceeds of corruption, according to the EFCC.

Fani-Kayode was accused of directly using parts of the money at various times, including N250,650,000.00, which he allegedly used between March 20 and 25, 2015.

He was also accused of making a cash transaction of N24m with one Olubode Oke, said to still be at large, on February 12, 2015 “to Paste Poster Co of 125, Lewis Street, Lagos Island.”

The duo were said to have made the transaction without going through any financial institution, an act the EFCC claimed was contrary to sections 1(a) and 16(d) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) (Amendment) Act, 2012, and punishable under Section 16(2)(b) of the same Act.

Months later, the former minister was rearrested and solely arraigned on five counts bordering on money laundering to the tune of N26 million.

According to the EFCC, Fani-Kayode allegedly received the sum of N26 million from the office of the former National Security Adviser (ONSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.) in 2014.

“He is currently broke, when he was broke during the former President Olusegun Obasanjo era, he started attacking Obasanjo until he was offered a position which fuelled his drug filled lifestyle. As soon as he got a job with Obasanjo, he started attacking Prof. Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe. That was why Obasanjo said what politicians need to do for Fani-Kayode to hail them is to give him food,” a source told SaharaReporters.

“Years after, he started attacking former President Goodluck Jonathan. Jonathan’s wife was so scared of him that she begged her husband to employ him, that was why he was made the spokesman for the PDP’s presidential campaign committee.

“When APC came on board, he started attacking President Muhammadu Buhari because of the various corruption cases against him but the late chief of staff, Abba Kyari, was shielding him from trial. Now that Kyari is dead and his trial is progressing well, he is afraid that he might get Metuh’s treatment. He is expected to be in court on February 23 and 24, 2021. He doesn’t want to go to prison.

“In addition, he is very broke. I hope you are aware he just had a new baby. He doesn’t even have money for the unknown wife and baby’s upkeep. So, he started reaching out to APC stalwarts. He also told some of us that journalists conspired against his nationwide tour of states where he was initially making money.”

SaharaReporters, however, gathered that some APC chieftains, especially the powerful northern oligarchs don’t want him to return to the party.

They accused him of being in the habit of insulting President Buhari and people of the northern region for several years.

Fani-Kayode was last year attracted public criticism for his verbal assault on Eyo Charles, a journalist with Daily Trust, for asking him the source of funding of his recent tours during a press conference in Calabar, Cross River State.

Apart from describing Charles as "stupid", the former minister used other derogatory words on the journalist, drawing criticisms from far and near.

The journalist had asked him if he was being bankrolled by any politician or political group – a question that attracted verbal assault from the ex-minister.

“I’m saying this live on TV, put that thing down, what kind of stupid question is that? Bankrolling who? Do you know who you are talking to? I will not take any further questions from this man. Who do you think you are talking to? Go and report yourself to your publisher. I don’t want to take questions from this man, very stupid,” he said.

“I could see from your face before you got here how stupid you are. Don’t ever talk to me like that. I’m not a poor man and will never be, bankroll who? A former minister, a lawyer, don’t ever try that with me again, see me well, don’t ever. You are very rude, it’s not the standard of Daily Trust at all and I will report you to your publisher.”

The former minister eventually bowed to public pressure and apologised for his conduct.

SaharaReporters also exposed how his fourth marriage with Precious, his fourth wife, exploded over domestic violence that lasted for six years.

Sources told SaharaReporters that Fani-Kayode started physically abusing the ex-beauty queen from the first year of their marriage, the same fate that befell her predecessors.

The violence, it was gathered, increased as the years went by.

FFK, as the ex-minister is often referred to, was said to have ordered Precious to abort her last pregnancy, claiming it did not belong to him.

The sources said Precious ignored him but got beaten, including being hit in the belly for the recalcitrance.

A source said Fani-Kayode always hit the woman violently in the presence of their home helps and sometimes threatened her with a gun by sticking the weapon in her mouth to warn her against squealing.

He sometimes instructed his bodyguard to hit the ex-beauty queen.

Fani-Kayode’s first wife, Saratu Attah, whom he married when he was 22, was also regularly pummeled by him.

Sources said the woman, daughter of the late Adamu Attah, was viciously beaten for requesting a swimming pool in their home on Marine Road in Apapa, Lagos.

FFK's next marriage was to Yemisi Odesanya, daughter of a judge. She is now known as Yemisi Wada after remarrying.

In newspaper interviews, the woman told stories of Fani-Kayode's viciousness and lack of care for their daughters, the reason for which he was excluded from the marriage of one of them, Temitope, in 2014.

Despite the disconnect between him and the children, the former minister never fails to advertise his "love" for them on Facebook on their birthdays.

Gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen have killed a cousin of the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu on New Media, Gani Muhammed.

The deceased identified as Dayo Ibiye was killed on his farm at Ajowa Akoko, Ondo State.

Speaking to SaharaReporters, Muhammed said, “Three days ago, Dayo, who was my first cousin, went to his farm and met some Fulani herdsmen around the area, so he told them not to come towards his farm but to his surprise, they told him they would come to the farm and he would not do anything. This led to an alteration between him and the herdsmen. They warned him after that not to come to his farm again, that was three days ago.

“So today, he went to his farm. Before you know it, those Fulani showed up at the farm. The person with him, on sighting them, ran away. Before the police and other villagers could get there, he had been killed. We met his lifeless body on the farm.”

Muhammed added that the remains of the deceased had been deposited at the morgue.

The incident happened a few weeks after the state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, ordered herdsmen to vacate the state’s forest reserves within seven days.

Apart from ejecting the herdsmen, the governor also banned underage grazing, night grazing, and movement of cattle within the cities and on highways.

He had said, "Today, we have taken major steps at addressing the root cause of kidnapping, in particular, and other nefarious activities detailed and documented in security reports, the press, and debriefings from victims of kidnap cases in Ondo State.

"As the chief law and security officer of the state, it is my constitutional obligation to do everything lawful to protect the lives and property of all residents of the state. In light of the foregoing, the following orders are hereby issued: All forest reserves in the state are to be vacated by herdsmen within the next seven days with effect from today, Monday, January 18, 2021."

The issue generated an uproar and after a meeting with different stakeholders, Akeredolu asked herdsmen to register with the government so that they can operate unhindered in the forest reserves.

Numbers don't lie

There is an orchestrated plan on NL to always paint seyi black. Now I can see. This same news already made FP last year which wasnt denied as he was doing this and more for his party members even before he got to power. He is a Billionaire in every sense of the word. He has been buying people cars and giving people means of live hood even before he got to power so I do not know reason why this made the news again

If you upload positive news about Oyo,It wont make FP..It is also the negative news that makes FP now I can see there is a gangup against seyi which is good..all media is good,be you bad or good.. You can continue

The Oyo State All Progressives Congress (APC) may be in for a fresh crisis as two of its twelve National Assembly members have been accused of planning to hijack the ongoing membership registration exercise.

Oyo APC currently has two senators and 10 House of Representatives' members.

This development, it was learnt, cannot be disconnected from the bid by various interests to gain control of the party ahead of the 2023 elections.

SaharaReporters gathered that the party currently has four factional groups which include Lamists, SENACO, PDP Reform and Unity Forum.

The party, at his enlarged stakeholders’ meeting held at the new secretariat, Oke-Bola, Ibadan on Monday however banned the activities of all the factions and agreed to select two persons each from the 33 local government areas of the state to lead the registration exercise in their respective council areas.

Party sources however revealed that Senator Teslim Folarin and Senator Fatai Buhari, who are both ranking members in the National Assembly on Wednesday approached the national revalidation/registration membership committee sent to the state at a highbrow hotel in Jericho area of Ibadan for allocation forms, an action that is against the agreed modalities by stakeholders.

A chieftain of the party, who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed that the committee, when approached, told the two federal lawmakers that what they wanted could not be done.

“The committee chairman told them that the fresh registration was necessitated by the crises that engulfed the party, adding that it would be stupid of them to now cause another round of crises. They were told that they were for peace.

“Imagine the two lawmakers asking that the materials for the registration be given to them to keep in their respective constituency offices. Is that not absurd? I wonder what they want to achieve with that. Why can’t they allow everybody to register and go afterward to canvass support from people ahead of the congresses? I am not sure we have learnt our lessons,” the source added.

President Muhammadu Buhari had on Saturday flagged off the membership registration of the APC across the country.

The exercise however turned violent on Wednesday in Kwara State as members of two factions of the party clashed in Ilorin.

The violence happened at the Banquet Hall of Government House where a meeting was holding ahead of the registration exercise.

The party national registration and revalidation committee had called the meeting to ensure a smooth registration exercise amid the protracted crisis in the party in Kwara which worsened after the removal of Bashir Bolarinwa as the party chairman.

Bolarinwa was removed by the national caretaker committee of the party led by Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni. He was replaced with Abdullahi Samari two weeks ago.

The development was a fallout of a rift between Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and a group of party leaders led by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed.

Although the national and North Central leaders of the party have intervened in the rift, no solution has been found.

This led to fears of the factions conducting parallel registration exercises in the state.

The Oyo State Police Command said the efforts of its men in collaboration with Amotekun corps doused the tension created by the invasion of scores of hoodlums who unleashed terror on residents of Aderogba and other communities off Bere area of Ibadan.

The hoodlums, who had invaded the Aderogba community late on Thursday night looted shops, set a building on fire, and also burnt a shop. The insecurity forced some shop owners and residents to flee the area.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State Mr Olugbenga Fadeyi while reacting to the attack said in a statement that efforts of security agents doused the tension in the area.

He said the hoodlums were pursued and a locally made gun was recovered from one of them.

The statement read, “Hoodlums from these areas came out at the early hours of 29/01/2021 in their usual manner with dangerous weapons to loot shops and set up bonfires. A house and about two shops were looted.

“The swift response of police patrol teams doused tension and the hoodlums were dislodged. Routine patrols were intensified to forestall further attacks and lootings.

“Sequel to this, at about 2015 hrs, the hoodlums from Aderogba area came out again attempted to vandalize and loot shops at Beyeruka/Ogbori Efon areas. Police patrol teams and that of Amotekun were drafted to the area. During the hot chase by the teams, a cut-to-size dane gun was recovered from one of the hoodlums while bonfires set up were put out. The hoodlums thereafter fled the scene.”

” Constant routine patrols have been intensified in those areas and normalcy restored. The police are on the trail of these hoodlums to get them arrested and carry out prosecution accordingly.”

Meanwhile, some family heads ( Mogaji) that visited the scene of the attack on Friday have called on residents of the area to collaborate with security agencies for better security in the area.

The Mogaji Adanla, Abduljelyl Adekunle Karheem, who led other mogaji to sympathise with the residents of the area also appealed to the youths in the area against reprisal.

He said, “Security agencies need to do more and the people also need to collaborate with them for better security. They should have the telephone numbers of security agencies. If they had numbers of relevant security agencies, the response would have been faster and the attack would have been stopped quickly.”

Remembered Obasanjo's late ADC from 1999..Dude never ever laughed no matter the type of jokes Obasanjo ever cracked..used to look at him behind OBJ and wondered the type of military training he had..No laugh,No smiles. Just there.A towering figure behind the President.

Subsequent ones in latter administration did not carry the kind of aura or charisma he had..There was something about him that was very noticeable by discerning minds..No wonder Obasanjo choose him

May his soul rest in peace.
