The battle continues:FFK & Bianca Ojukwu may be heading to court

Yep, these two maybe going to court because Bianca
Ojukwu has rejected Femi Fani Kayode's non- apology.
Femi issued a statement last week withdrawing his
earlier claims that they had an 'intimate relationship' in
the past but Bianca's lawyers said the retraction was
not sufficient and satisfactory and have decided to go
to court. Femi Fani Kayode this morning responded to
Bianca's lawsuit threat, insisting that he didn't lie and
threatened to reveal details of his 'relationship with
her. Like Bianca, he has also issued a statement
threatening to sue. Read Mrs Ojukwu's statement
below, issued via her personal assistant, and find
FFK's response after the cut...
“The attention of Her Excellency, Ambassador
Bianca Ojukwu has been drawn to a statement
purportedly issued by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode
through one Mr Akinola Babatunde Rotimi and
published in the Daily Sun and ThisDay
Newspapers of September 6, 2013.The phantom
claim in the said statement that Chief Femi Fani-
Kayode and Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu were
once good friends to the knowledge of mutual
friends who are still alive is not only false,
baseless and typical, but a further attempt by
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode to create the impression
of a connection between himself and Ambassador
Bianca Ojukwu.
“Whilst it is important to reiterate that Ambassador
Bianca Ojukwu has never met Chief Femi Kayode and
does not know him in person, it is pertinent to note
that the statement issued through Mr Akinola
Babatunde Rotimi, falls far short of an apology and
retraction of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode’s false and
libelous outbursts and is merely a desperate attempt to
lend credence to fabrications, which he seeks to
present as reality with intent to gloss over the very
serious issues arising from the reckless publication.
“In the circumstances, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu is
left with no option than to leave the matter in the
hands of her lawyers.”
Femi Fani Kayode's statement...
"We read the comments of the P.A. to Mrs.
Bianca Ojukwu in the Sun Newspaper of 9th
September and in a number of other newspapers
where she expressed the view that the withdrawal
of the comments made about her by Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode were ''not enough''. We really do
wonder what Mrs. Ojukwu really wants from Chief
Fani-Kayode and what her agenda really is?
Throughout this matter Chief Fani-Kayode has
chosen the path of peace and has attempted to
avoid an ugly and public quarrel with Bianca
Ojukwu out of respect to the memory of her late
father Chief C.C. Onoh and the memory of her
late husband, Dim Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu .
Consequently he has publiclly apologised to her
and the two other igbo ladies that he mentioned
in the said article (namely Miss Chioma Ansoh
and Miss Adaobi Ucgegbu) on two separate
occassions, in three separate national newspapers
and online. He has has also publically withdrawn
the words that they found offensive, he has edited
the said article, he has ensured that no
newspaper in Nigeria that published it mentioned
their names in the revised version, he has
admitted that the word ''intimate'' that was used
in the online version of the article was
''indiscreet'' and he has bent over backwards to
tread the path of peace and to appease all those
concerned. Despite all these efforts Bianca Ojukwu
has refused to be appeased or to let go and she
has continued to peddle the shameless lie that
she has never met Chief Fani-Kayode. This is sad
and unfortunate and it is beyond the imagination
of anyone that a serving Ambassador of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria would so readily and
so easily be given to telling such lies. Chief Fani-
Kayode is not comfortable with publiclly joining
issues with ladies when it comes to matters of a
private nature such as this because he was well
brought up and he is a gentleman but it is clear
that Bianca Ojukwu is desperate to go to war over
this issue and to cover up the truth about their
past. It is also clear that she has constituted
herself into the arrowhead of a group of people
that are determined to use her and this whole
unsavoury episode to attempt to distract attention
from the wider and more important issues raised
in the essay and to discredit him. Since that is
the case we welcome whatever action Ojukwu
wishes to take in court and we shall gladly meet
her there. We will also be instigating our own
legal proceedings against her in due course for her
barefaced and malicious lies and her consistent
claim that she has never met Chief Fani-Kayode
all in an attempt to libel, defame, diminish and
discredit him before the entire world. We wish to
state clearly and categorically that not only did
Chief Fani-Kayode know her but he also knew her
far better than she cares to publiclly admit. The
precise nature of that relationship will be explored
and exposed in open court. It is not in the nature
of Chief Fani-Kayode to fight unecessary and
distractive battles over flippant matters such as
this but on this occassion he has been compelled
to do so simply because he will do whatever it
takes to protect his integrity and establish the
fact that he has told no lie. Since she has
continued her shameless perfidy and wishes to
tread the path of deceit and confrontation then so
be it. Finally let it be clearly understood that at
no point did Chief Fani-Kayode lie about the
nature of his relationship with Ojukwu. However
he did not feel that it was appropiate or
necessary to share the details of that relationship
with the public because he felt that such matters
were strictly private. The fact that she mistook
his mature exercise of restraint and discretion,
even when provoked and insulted, his desire for
peace and his gentlemanly nature for weakness is
not only unfortunate but also a grave
miscalculation on her part. Once again we
reiterate the fact that we counsel Ojukwu to take
whatever course of action she pleases and we
welcome this opportunity to expose her for what
she is. The matter has been referred to our
lawyers for final preparation. They will prepare a
vigorous defence to Ojukwu's absurd allegations
and they will also determine our next line of
action against her''- Mr. Tosin Emmanuel, p.a. to
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode
