Media mogul, Dele Momodu, on Thursday, March 19, fired back at the comments made by ambassador-designate, Femi Fani-Kayode, regarding how President Bola Tinubu fed and housed him for 40 years, describing Fani-Kayode as a scavenger for political appointments.
Momodu said this in a fresh statement he issued on Thursday, March 19, on his verified X handle, as he added that Fani-Kayode has not attained a global brand except for the wrong reasons.
The statement reads: “To those begging me to ignore Femi Fani-Kayode, my apologies, I can’t. I know Femi well. He is a bully. But I have plenty time for him.
“He calls a global brand, Ovation Media Group, defunct. Yet, as recently as February 11, 2026, he still begged me to help him publish on one of our platforms, The Boss newspapers, about the educational achievements of his family. And I gladly obliged him, after which he sent ‘Thanks brother. Very kind of you.’ Is he already suffering from dementia?
“As for Ovation International, he used our platform to celebrate the birthday of his son, for which we did not charge a kobo. This was what he wrote and sent to me: ‘Good morning my brother. May I send you videos and pictures of my son’s birthday party which took place on 25th. They are great shots and I would appreciate it if you could select a few for your usage. Always and forever my brother. I am proud of you and I wish you well. Keep up the great work.’
“What work or business does Femi do except scavenging for political appointments? With all his boastfulness about his silver spoon status, he has not attained a global brand except for the wrong reasons.
“His estranged wife, Precious, reached out to me to speak to Femi to grant her access to their children. She regaled me with unprintable and horrendous tales of Femi’s inhumanity to her. I obliged and got Femi and her to reconcile, technically. “Femi was so excited that he pestered me for progress on the matter, regularly, including asking me to speak to a female Senator: ‘I hope you managed to reach her my brother.’ What more can I do to make Femi happy?
“I understand Femi’s strategy. He needs to remain in Tinubu’s good books just in case Germany falls through and he needs another appointment.”
