• You’re suffering inferiority complex, ex-minister replies
The media war between Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State and former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has got messier.
Okorocha, in a statement signed by his media aide, Sam Onwuemeodo, yesterday, described the ex-minister as bereft of native sense.
“Fani-Kayode’s only claim to fame is the prominent background of his family without which he has nothing else to show,” he said.
Fani-Kayode had, through his media aide, Jude Ndukwe, expressed doubts about the authenticity of the photograph published in the media from the recent visit of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and some governors to President Muhammadu Buhari in London. He had described Okorocha’s action as “a sign of desperation to serve the evil purposes for which he has been procured.”
Okorocha, in his reaction, dismissed the former aviation minister as a “spoilt and over pampered child.”
But Fani-Kayode countered by referring to the Imo State governor as “a dirty, cheap, fat, ugly frog that mistakes himself for a monkey simply because he can hop…”
Okorocha said Fani Kayode “needs a psychiatric examination of his mental health.” He said if the ex-minister had any problem with the visit of the APC delegation to Buhari in London he should have dwelt on that rather than going personal without addressing the issue.
“And on our part, as responsible people, we had delayed in responding to Kayode’s attacks or hesitated in joining issues with him because most Nigerians had, before now, doubted his intelligent quotient and had also called for certain clinical examinations.
“Again, there is obviously a very wide gulf between a man who has succeeded in every segment of life through the dint of hard work and, indeed, by God’s grace, and someone whose only claim in the society or his only meal ticket is the late father’s name.
“And we also know that spoilt and over pampered children do not know what it takes to have self-discipline and respect for others,” Okorocha said.
The Imo Sate governor said he began life as a street hawker and ended up being a governor and successful man, both in business and in other areas of life, and also obtained a Masters degree in law from the University of Jos without parental contributions.
“And for him (Fani-Kayode), at the age of eight, he was already at Brighton College, Brighton, in the UK and, also, studied law at London University. And one can see that what Africans call “native sense” might have eluded him. And this “native sense” guides or helps one a lot, including how to talk to people especially superiors,” Okorocha said.
Fani-Kayode, however, said the Imo State governor “is suffering from a terrible and debilitating inferiority complex.”
He described Okorocha as “a primitive and bush villager of questionable paternity whose father remains unknown even to his mother.
“Instead of respecting himself, shutting up and seeking for forgiveness from God for betraying his Igbo people, addressing his elders and betters in an inappropriate and insolent manner, and playing the fool, the village idiot called Rochas Okorocha has, once again, fouled up the public space by opening his dirty mouth and talking about Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, the former Minister of Culture and Tourism and former Minister of Aviation.”
Fani-Kayode said it was not a crime to have been born into a well-to-do family and neither was it a sin. He said Okorocha “has no decorum, no finesse, no decency, no class, no education and no integrity.”
“We repeat that a man who constantly speaks up for and supports a government that consistently slaughters and routinely massacres his own (Igbo) people can only be described as a sociopathic self-hating Igbo, who is suffering from a terrible and debilitating inferiority complex.
“When he finishes his tenure as governor he will crawl back into the filthy cesspit and hole from which he came.
“FFK was never a ritualist, a cultist, a 419er, a sodomite, a traitor or a dirty and unreliable street urchin and scammer. He never ruined the lives of millions, bowed before strange gods and slept in coffins to make his money.
“He never sold his soul to the devil or his body to reprobate men who lust for other men in return for money and power.”
The former minister said Okorocha has much to answer for and “the evil spirits that, by his own admission, have been tormenting him ever since he became governor will soon take their pound of flesh.
“The sword of the Lord is poised to strike and the judgement of God awaits him for his many indiscretions and sins. Thereafter comes hellfire,” Fani-Kayode concluded.
