2023: Osibanjo Campaign group exposes plot to malign his name
Vondigest reports that the Osinbajo for President Media Council has raised an alarm over the alleged plot to malign the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, ahead of the All Progressives Congress’ primary election.
Osinbajo is a presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
The council made this known in a statement titled, ‘Exposed: Plot to smear Osinbajo with false testimonies of discrimination against women wearing hijab’, on Tuesday.
The campaign group claimed that one of the plots was to use fake audio of faceless individuals to portray Osinbajo as a religious fanatic.
The Osinbajo for President Media Council has uncovered yet another fraudulent plan to malign the reputation of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President of Nigeria and a Presidential Aspirant on the platform of the APC.
The plot has been traced to a cell of smear campaigners, led by a US-based Nigerian who was formerly a Students Union President at the University of Lagos. The same individual is currently a lecturer at the University of Ohio in the USA.
The plan is to use fake audio of faceless individuals with fictitious names to cast the Vice President, who is a Christian, as a religious fanatic, who discriminated against the staff of other faith while he was Attorney-General & Commissioner for Justice in Lagos State during the tenure of former Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Indeed as Attorney-General, Prof Osinbajo’s Secretary, a Muslim, Alhaji Abdul Gafar Bakare had testified before now that the then Lagos AG “did not only encourage me to further my education even at my relatively old age, he personally sponsored my BSc Accounting Program.” He added that the VP also sponsored his foreign travel then.”
