In a viral video that surfaced online on Tuesday, August 25, 2020, Mr Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation, berated Charles Eyo, a Daily Trust journalist, at a press conference in Calabar, Cross River State.
Mr Eyo asked Mr Fani-Kayode who was bankrolling his tour of Cross River State and other states in the South-South. Mr Kayode returned the gbas with his own gbos by calling him unprintable names, one of which was “stupid”.
Following backlash from active citizens, Mr Fani-Kayode was forced to apologize to the journalist for his outburst.
