Former presidential spokesperson, Femi Fani-Kayode, has announced a ceasefire in his recent public feud with Ovation magazine publisher, Dele Momodu, following days of intense verbal exchanges.

The clash between the two prominent figures began after Momodu, a chieftain of the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC), criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration during an appearance on Channels Television, describing the president as a dictator. Fani-Kayode responded with a strongly worded and widely circulated social media post, which Momodu countered with an equally sharp rebuttal.

However, taking to his 𝕏 account, Fani-Kayode disclosed that respected leaders had intervened to de-escalate the situation, leading to a mutual agreement to end the public spat.

“As a consequence of the intervention of numerous highly respected leaders for whom I have the greatest admiration, a ceasefire between myself and my friend and brother Bobby Dee is now in place,” he wrote.

He added that both parties had agreed to refrain from further comments about each other, emphasizing their shared identity as Nigerians despite political differences.

“I believe we can both move on with our lives peacefully as from today despite the hurtful things that were said on both sides over the last 24 hours,” Fani-Kayode stated, expressing hope that the ceasefire would hold.

The development brings a swift end to what had quickly escalated into a high-profile media feud, drawing significant public attention across the country.
