On Tuesday, Fani-Kayode bin visit journalist for conference to tell dem as im dey waka south south state to dey monitor di project of governors for di states wey dey di region.
During di conference, di journalist wey im name be Eyo Charles, ask di former minister say who dey "bankroll" all im waka upandan.
Di word "bnankroll" vex Fani-Kayode wey vex come begin dey call di journalist "stupid" and tell am say make im no try dat kain tin with am again.
"What type of insulting question be that? Which bankroll? To do what? Who fit give me money for anything? Who do you think say ypu dey talk to? Bankroll what? Go and report yourself to your publisher."
DI local tori media, Daily Trust, too don issue statement say dem stand with dia reporter.
Di Nigerian Union of Journalist (NUJ) and oda Nigerians don dey call out Fani-Kayode for how im behave even afta im comment say im dey withdraw di abuse word, pipo still dey ask am to apologise to di reporter.
For the record & for benefit of those mis-characterizing this, withdrawing the word "stupid" after meeting wth "advisors" & after 2 previous statements that found nothing wrong with the entire episode isn't an apology. It is public relations. That's not a crime. Clarity matters. https://t.co/sBqdX85LmV

The first person you should apologise to is the journalist whom you insulted and harassed for simply doing his job. Not your “friends in the media.”
Looks more like PR stunt than actual apology. https://t.co/imvv5NgyWE

Dear FFK,
While it appears you are trying to do the right thing, there is pride written all over this apology. There is no such thing as selective withdrawal, it’s a full out apology that is required if you really want it to mean much.Otherwise, you are just massaging your ego https://t.co/zghERPUGeG

Go fix your attitude. You work closely with the Media yẹnyẹnyẹn. Common question : "Who's bankrolling you"? You went raging like a loose dog. Meanwhile, 90% of your tweets are fake news / attacks on people who share diff political views from U. Go fix ur attitude. https://t.co/caqo6NTK4p
