The Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu on Sunday responded to the recent attack on a journalist by a former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shehu told the former minister that there could only be a stupid response in journalism and no stupid question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fani-Kayode<\/a>, who is known for using abusive language against leaders, recently attacked a journalist in Calabar, Cross River State for asking him to reveal those behind his trips to some states, especially those controlled by his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not happy with the question, Fani-Kayode said the journalist did not only ask a stupid question but also appeared stupid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a tweet on his Twitter handle, @GarbaShehu, the president\u2019s spokesman told Fani-Kayode:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn journalism 101, you learn that there is no stupid question, only stupid answers. A former Nigerian minister just brought home this lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Fani-Kayode has since apologised for his action after he was attacked by the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Amnesty International among other groups and individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
