Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has responded to Reno Omokri and Femi Fani-Kayode, calling them “perpetual agents of perfidy” who lack credibility.
Momodu replied to individual assaults by the pair concerning his comments on President Bola Tinubu’s administration in a statement titled “Reno Omokri & Femi Fani-Kayode: A Tale of Two Shameless Friends,” which he shared on his X account on Wednesday.
Momodu stated that he had planned to disregard the criticism but opted to respond in order to prevent being “bullied. into silence and submission”.
“They both have no credibility whatsoever,” he said, adding that the two men had earlier criticized Tinubu in a hurtful manner that “they will never be able to erase”.
The publisher of Ovation Magazine also rejected assertions that he had accused the President without evidence.
“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.
Momodu clarified his stance by asserting that the sole charge he levels against Tinubu is what he characterizes as “dictatorship”.
“All I have accused Tinubu of is dictatorship and I stand by it with my full chest,” he stated, adding that his position is influenced by Nigeria’s past under military rule.
He also disclosed that he had held back on his criticism of the President out of respect for elder statesmen and previous connections.
Momodu further alleged that Omokri and Fani-Kayode had each contacted him privately for support or reconciliation at different times, despite their public attacks against him.
“How Femi and Reno can continue to harass people on behalf of a Tinubu they’ve permanently damaged baffles me,” he added.
