Former aviation minister flattens his account to give fourth mother-in-law best cancer treatment
For the umpteenth time, mischief makers have equated former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, with a man possessed of splendid talents, which he often abused. They have labeled him a man of sound judgment, the admonitions of which he often neglected. They are characterising him as man who succeeded only in an inferior department of his art – but who in that department succeeded pre-eminently.
A more devious school of thought would equate the former People’s Democratic Party (PDP) campaign manager with a man who had spent all his life letting down empty buckets into empty wells. They accuse him so, claiming that the PDP chieftain has frittered away most of his newfound wealth on his mother-in-law’s cancer treatment.
Having impregnated and sired a child by the latter’s daughter, Precious Chikwendu, Fani-Kayode automatically became responsible for picking the bills of his new mother-in-law. Precious, a former beauty queen, inspired Fani-Kayode’s passion soon after he broke up with his third wife and former benefactor.
It would be recalled that Precious and her mum with a maid in tow moved into the former minister’s Abuja home soon after they became an item. She is also an actress and a model popularly known with the alias: ‘Snow White,’ because of her very light complexion.
Smitten by the former beauty queen, Fani-Kayode is allegedly sparing no expenses in treating her to the best things money can buy. As a measure of his heartfelt love for her, Fani-Kayode is sparing no expense in ensuring that his mother-in-law gets the best of treatment for her cancer disease.
Findings revealed that although the latter’s cancer treatment has set Fani-Kayode back by several millions of naira, money spent has not amounted to waste. Precious’s mother is recuperating fairly well. Let’s hope her subsequent treatment would not render the former aviation minister broke as he inches towards his twilight.
