Fani-Kayode and Yahaya Bello

Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has been called out on social media after backing the presidential ambition of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, whom he once called a “useful idiot and accursed slave”.

This came to the fore on Sunday after the ex-minister’s apparent reaction to a comment by Kassim Muhammad, the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s Leader in the North-Central geopolitical zone, who urged Governor Bello to shelve his presidential ambition to enable the region to clinch the party’s chairmanship ticket.

Reacting, Fani-Kayode said, “The idea that Gov. Yahaya Bello should not run for the Presidency & that the NC zone, which has never produced a democratically-elected President, ought to settle for another position is absurd.

“Nigeria needs strong & decisive leadership, a generational change & a bridge-builder.”

However, a Twitter user, Honourable Oke Umurhohwo shared a screenshot of a 2018 comment in which Fani-Kayode heaped insults on the same Yahaya Bello.
