The latest exchange followed comments attributed to Momodu, which Fani-Kayode strongly rejected.

Fani-Kayode also defended President Bola Tinubu, dismissing comparisons between the current administration and past military regimes. He pointed to ongoing international engagements by the president as evidence of active governance and leadership.
