Fani-Kayode, Dele Momodu
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, has revealed that the former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, is quiet on President Bola Tinubu’s certificate saga because he cannot defend the forgery allegation.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar had accused Tinubu of forging his Chicago State University (CSU) certificate submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Tinubu and Atikuās camps have been at loggerheads over the matter since it has been in the public domain after a United States Court ordered CSU to release the certificate to Atiku.
Speaking in an Instagram video on Thursday, Momodu asked Tinubu to stop surrounding himself with sycophants who donāt know anything about the law.
The Publisher of Ovation Magazine said even lawyers know better that it is difficult to defend forgery, which is why most of them quiet about the controversy.
He said: āStop surrounding yourself with sycophants who donāt know anything. There are more intelligent people in Nigeria who will advise you. Go and find them. They are there.
“Nobody can justify forgery, nobody! Lawyers know that anyway, so Iām sure that people like Fani-Kayde, know. They canāt justify it, thatās why they are all keeping quiet now.ā
Momodu added that the president needs to apologise, and it is left for Nigerians to accept or not.
“Why canāt you just apologise and move on? As I said, it doesnāt mean people will accept that apology. At least start from somewhere, you are insulting us.
“And you are allowing these boys who are just coming to collect peanuts to insult everybody on social media? I will defend a man who has the courage to apologise,ā he added.
