Popular Nigerian activist Reno Omokri, has criticized the country’s top media outlet, Daily Trust for publishing a ‘tribalistic and hateful’ article about Chief Femi Fani-Kayode.
According to Omokri, theĀ former Minister of AviationĀ has admitted his mistake of insulting aĀ Daily Trust Journalist for asking him who is āBank Rolling his tourā.
But he has already tendered a public apology on social media and in a live press conference captured by Channels Television in Akwa Ibom state. He even promisedĀ to apologise directly to the Journalist he offended.
After taking such a humble step, Omokri feels it is wrong forĀ Daily Trust to publish an article that is worse than Fani-Kayode’s mistake.
In one of his regular posts onĀ Twitter, the former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan shamed the media outlet for writing such ‘libellous’ article against FFK.
Referring to the picture below, Omokri wrote:
“@RealFFK made a mistake, for which he apologised. The journalist in question said he forgave him. So, I donāt get why @Daily_Trust published the piece they did today. The piece is worse than FFKās mistake. It was libellous, tribalistic and hateful. Daily Trust should be ashamed!”
