Former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, has charged his estranged wife, Precious Chikwendu, to stop feeding the media with scandals geared towards destroying the future of their children.
This is as he alleged that he had been quiet over the problems between them for the past seven years in order to protect the future of their children.
Fani-Kayode’s statement made on his Twitter handle on Sunday is a continuation of his reaction to the trending video where a female voice, said to be Chikwendu’s, accuses him of physically abusing her.
The former minister had on Saturday defended himself over the allegation.
According to him, contrary to the allegation of physically abusing her, he only took the phone from her to stop her from recording him after he allegedly caught her in bed with a married man days earlier.
In his latest reaction, Fani-Kayode said if she had any issues, she should go through the right medium as a responsible adult and mother.
He said the children and their dignity came first and he would not help in tarnishing their image any further.
His tweets read: “I have chosen to take the high horse and I refuse to allow my estranged wife to turn the affairs of my personal life into a public circus. If she has any issues let her use the right medium as a responsible adult and mother and stop secretly feeding the media with damaging scandals geared towards the destruction of our children’s future.
“I have kept quite in order to protect my children, I have covered all her madness over the past 7 years & not once did I expose her. But the facts are there & the witnesses & evidence are readily available for the courts. I broke my silence yesterday only because my hand has been forced. Rather than focusing on the problem of brutality & evil plaguing our country, or the myriad of other issues holding citizens hostage, some people would prefer to spread and partake in what amounts to celebrity gossip & chopped videos. Who in Nigeria does this benefit? What is the use?
“Those involved in this smear campaign are begging for further responses which I will not give them. My private relationship & any disagreements therein are just that: PRIVATE & I have learned my lesson on feeding into parasocial media culture.
“My children & their dignity come first & I refuse to help these individuals tarnish their image any further. The ringleader of this media scandal and his/her collaborators may continue polluting news sites & blogs with spam & begging for crumbs of attention with wild tales as long as they wish. Acting is a professional field all on its own but thankfully so is law. Any & all videos, testimonies, documentation & other evidence coming from my end will only be displayed in court, where this issues can be resolved once and for all. If this person speaks the truth, they will be happy to meet me there, instead of peddling stories. My next tweets and posts will be focused solely on relevant issues. Thank you.”
