The Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah, yesterday Tuesday hit back at Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, describing him as being an ignorant individual, who “should hide his head in shame.” after he said it was wrong for the minister to tell Nigerians that ‘' accidents are inevitable''and that they were ‘' acts of God.”
Oduah said:
“I have huge sympathy for them, the ignorant people in particular. Because when you speak out of context, when you speak under the influence of whatever it is you are under, you speak incorrectly and you mislead innocent Nigerians and that is what he has done. And he really should hide his head in shame.”Continue after the break
Fani-Kayode, while reacting to Oduah’s comments about him, asked the minister to grow up and stop being petty.
He said:
My advice and counsel to her is to grow up and stop being petty. She is meant to talk like someone who befits her office and not like a market woman or a fish wife.
I do not like joining issues with women publicly which is why I was very gentle with her in my essay though I made my point.
But this particular woman is endangering the lives of our people with her incompetence and insensitivity and we cannot just keep quiet.
This is a woman under whose watch almost 200 people have been killed as Aviation Minister and instead of focusing on how to save lives her obsession has become smearing and abusing Femi Fani-Kayode.
This is a woman who thinks more about how her headscarf looks, her jewelry and the jewelry of others more than she does about protecting Nigerian air travellers,”.Fani added that if anyone should bury his/her head in shame it should be the minister and not him.
