The minister of state for labour and employment and human rights lawyer, Festus Keyamo, has come hard on the former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, for publicly insulting a journalist in Calabar, the capital of Cross Rivers state. Legit.ng gathered that the ex-minister poured invective on the journalist for asking a question at a press briefing.

Don’t ever talk to me like that,” Fani-Kayode kept yelling at the reporter who was still standing and apologising — “I am sorry, sir.” “Don’t judge me by your own standards. I have been in politics since 1990. I am not one of those politicians that you think will just come…. I was taken, I have been locked up how many times by this government. I have been prosecuted, unlike most of these politicians you follow for brown envelopes! “Don’t ever judge me by that standard. I spend, I don’t take and I am not a poor man, I have never been and will never be," he had said. Reacting to Fani-Kayode's outburst, Keyamo described the ex-minister as arrogant, self-centred, who lacks empathy and consideration for other people. He tweeted: "Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health disease that involves a pattern of self-centred, arrogant thinking and behaviour and a lack of empathy and consideration for other people. The affected persons are often cocky, manipulative, selfish, patronizing and demanding."
