President Olusegun Obasanjo an ingrate

claimed in a report that the former minister had called Obasanjo an
ingrate

Chief
Femi Fani-Kayode on Thursday denied claim by a former militant group
which said in a report that he called Chief Olusegun Obasanjo who
brought him to political limelight an ingrate.
The former militant group, National Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Agitators, on Wednesday, threw caution to the wind and went wild against Fani-Kayode, who was the former minister of aviation and former President Jonathan’s media director during the 2015 presidential battle.
The group, led by one Israel Akpodoro in
the Niger Delta, raised allegations Fani- Kayode for his vituperations
against the president who the ex-militant group is supporting to the
core.

Fani Kayode: I've never called Obasanjo an ingrate
The group said Fani-Kayode called Olusegun
Obasanjo an ingrate for not supporting the presidential ambition of
Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
It also alleged that
Fani-Kayode’s underlying reason for his actions against Buhari was to
get appointment from President Buhari’s cabinet, alleging that that was
how he did to secure the media director’s office during Godluck
Jonathan’s campaign for 2015 presidency.
But
Femi Fani-Kayode in a swift response said he had never called former
President Olusegun Obasanjo an ingrate, describing the allegation as
false.
Speaking through his Special Adviser on
Media, Jude Ndukwe, Fani-Kayode described the ex-militant group making
such allegation as faceless and should not be given attention.
He also said that he has never and will never be part of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government.
According to Ndukwe: “Chief Fani-Kayode has NEVER said that Obasanjo is an ingrate. We do not respond or join issues with faceless groups.
“The
former minister has said it countless times that he would rather die
one million times than be part of Buhari's government.”
