Charles had asked Fani-Kayode who bankrolled his recent tour of some southern states. But the former minister who was infuriated by the question, said the journalist was “stupid”.

However, after meeting his advisors, Fani-Kayode finally apologized for insulting the journalist, adding that he regretted his action which had made him to offend many of his friends in the media.
