By GWG Staff With Agency Reports

Former minister of aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode continued his inspection of projects in Peoples Democratic Party, PDP controlled states in Akwa Ibom but was stoutly rebuffed by journalists in the state.

Fani-Kayode who outraged the nation after he called a journalist stupid for asking the sponsorship of his state by state trip announced his arrival in Akwa Ibom in a tweet.

He neither disclosed who bankrolled the trip nor the membership of his team.

He said:

The boycott of his inspection was contained in a statement signed by the NUJ Chairman, Mr Amos Etuk and the  Secretary, Mr Dominic Akpan, and made available to newsmen on Friday in Uyo.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the former minister of aviation, in a viral video, was seen verbally assaulting Cross River correspondent of Daily Trust, Mr Eyo Charles, for asking him a question he considered “ stupid.’’

Etuk directed that the chapels should not attend a media parley with the ex-minister, Mr Fani-Kayode at any location in the state.

“In line with the disposition of the national leadership of our great union, the state council has directed that no journalists should attend a media parley with Femi Fani-Kayode or any of his activity at any location in Akwa Ibom,” Etuk said.
