Former Aviation minister, Femi Fani Kayode, has apologised for mentioning the names of three Igbo girlfriends he has had intimate relationship with in the past. The former minister, earlier in the week, mentioned the names of three Igbo ladies he has had intimate relationship with to prove he wasn't tribalistic.
According to him, “I was not a tribalist when I had a long-standing and intimate relationship with Miss Bianca Onoh, an Igbo lady, who later married Colonel Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu the leader of Biafra and who is now our Ambassador in Spain. I was not a tribalist when I had a long-standing and intimate relationship with Miss Chioma Anasoh, another Igbo lady, who I almost married. I was not a tribalist when I had a long-standing and intimate relationship with Miss Adaobi Uchegbu, another Igbo lady, who was exceptionally close to me and who is now a leading figure at the national headquarters of the ruling PDP.”
Realising he went too far, the former minister issued a letter of apology through his press Secretary Mr Bisi Lawal. According to the statement, “Chief Femi Fani-Kayode hereby expresses his deepest regrets for mentioning the names of three distinguished Nigerian ladies that he was once associated with in his last article titled ''A Word For Those Who Say I am A Tribalist''. He meant no harm by doing so and neither did he at any point make references to having had any sexual relations with any of these ladies when they were associated with him as is being suggested by some members of the public.”
The statement also revealed that the former minister has reached two of the ladies concerned and has personally conveyed his unreserved apology to them and families for his indiscretion. Kayode also promised to reach out to the third lady in the next few days.
