Addressing the controversy in a post shared on his X account, Fani-Kayode refuted the narrative surrounding the Fani-Kayode Germany ambassador rejection, insisting that the reports circulating in public discourse amounted to “fake news” designed to undermine his appointment.

The former minister alleged that opposition elements were responsible for spreading the claims, arguing that they were unsettled by his recent appointment and were attempting to discredit him.

He maintained that such efforts would not deter him from serving the country.

In his remarks, Fani-Kayode reaffirmed his commitment to public service, stating that he remained focused on contributing to national development regardless of criticism or speculation.

His comments appeared aimed at quelling rumours that had gained traction across social media platforms.

The clarification comes amid ongoing public discussions about diplomatic appointments and the vetting processes associated with ambassadorial postings.

While official confirmation regarding his diplomatic role has not been independently verified in this context, the former minister’s response seeks to address and counter the claims directly.

Fani-Kayode’s statement underscores the growing influence of social media in shaping public narratives, particularly around political appointments, where misinformation can quickly spread and generate debate.
