Kola Ola Olaniyan on Femi Fani Kayode:
"I first read about Femi Fani-Kayode in 2001 when he, under the cloak of ethnic irredentism was threatening fire and brimstone to have Obasanjo removed by all means possible. He then put up a meretricious facade of a true defender of the Yoruba race. Obasanjo must have seen in him another ethnic militia in the making but decided to give him the appointment to drive home the point that "omo buruku lojo ti e" (a bad boy has his useful days). Femi was angry and hungry for appointment and desperately in dire need of prominence. He applied the contumacies of ethnic irredentism to balloon himself into the corridor of power, ever since then, he has eaten all his words against Obasanjo. He became a full time agent provocateur, he accepted the ephemeral appointment to mortgage his future, he now looms so large in giddy heights of notoriety and pomposity that he has forgetten that the nuisance value in him is all Obasanjo needs to use and that in the fullness of time, I mean when his notoriety runs its full tragic course, he will be consigned to the garbage heap of history"
