Former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has fired back at Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, saying he was proud of his lineage and had no desire to be a member of the Aliko Dangote family.
Ogun State Government had granted exemption to Dangote trucks to move around during the period of lockdown over the coronavirus pandemic.
Mr Fani-Kayode’s statement, however, followed a backlash from Abiodun who said that anyone who felt Dangote did not deserve the exemption he gave his trucks to move across the state during the lockdown, such person “can choose to become a Dangote and I will give you that exemption as well.”
Fani-Kayode then said on Wednesday on Twitter: “Someone tell Dapo Abiodun that my name is Femi Fani-Kayode. I am quite happy to be a Fani-Kayode & I have no desire to be a Dangote.
“I am not interested in tax exemptions from his Ogun state or in selling my soul to Satan. I ask again, does he have to be a slave to feel fulfilled?”
The lockdown to check the spread of COVID-19 became effective in Ogun on April 3.
Abiodun had sought President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval to move the lockdown to the said date to enable Ogun residents prepare adequately.
