Press Secretary to Fani-Kayode, Bisi Lawal, in a letter of apology regrets mentioning these three Nigerian ladies- Madame Chioma Anasoh, Chief Adaobi Kate
Uchegbu and Ambassador Bianca Onoh in a write up "A Word For Those Who Say I am A Tribalist".
The letter reads, “Chief Femi Fani-kayode expresses his deepest regrets or
mentioning the names of that he was once associated with in his last article
titled ”A Word For Those Who Say I am A Tribalist”. He meant no harm by doing so
and neither did he at any point make references to having had any sexual
relations with any of these ladies when they were associated with him as is
being suggested by some members of the public. He was simply trying to emphasise
the fact that he has nothing against the igbo people and that his friendship
with these three ladies in particular over the years provided some evidence of
that.
“For the record he has not seen Madame Chioma Anasoh, Chief Adaobi Kate
Uchegbu and Ambassador Bianca Onoh in many years and he admits that it was
inappropiate for him to have mentioned their names in the essay, to use them as
a point of reference in a public discussion or to make any references whatsoever
to the nature of their past association. All references to them have been erased
from the updated version of the essay.
“Chief Fani-Kayode has reached two of the ladies concerned and he has
personally conveyed his unreserved apology to them both and to their families
for his indiscretion. He shall endeavour to reach the third lady to do the same
in the next few days. Chief Fani-Kayode has nothing more to say on this matter
and would prefer to remain focused on issues of national importance and not of a
personal nature” he said.
