The camp of former President
Goodluck Jonathan has called Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, a Pastor that tell
lies.
This is in reaction to Osinbajo’s
claim that Jonathan doled out the sum of N100 billion and $295 million in cash
two weeks to the 2015 elections.
A statement by Jonathan’s former
special assistant on New Media, Reno Omokri said Osinbajo lied to divert
attention from the ongoing saga involving former Pension boss, Abdulrasheed
Maina.
Omokri’s full statement below…
“My attention has been drawn to
claims in the media by the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, against
former President Jonathan. Speaking on Friday the 27th of October 2017 in Lagos
at a ‘Greater Nigeria Pastors Conference’, the Vice President said: “Weeks before
the 2015 elections, the government then, gave out N100billion in cash and
$295million in cash ostensibly for security within two weeks”.
“I make bold to say that the Vice
President has once again taken to his characteristic habit of lying.
“Nigerians may recall that only
last week, Vice President Osinbajo was in Anambra state where he lied that the
present administration had paid $2 billion for the second Niger Bridge.
“I had cause to expose that lie
and forced the Presidency to issue a ‘clarification’. The money released was 2
billion Naira and it came from the Sovereign Wealth Fund set up by the Jonathan
administration which the APC resisted and challenged in court.
“It will also be recalled that in
February 2016, the Vice President again lied when he claimed that both the
Jonathan and Yar’adua government did not build a single road. This fact was
easily disproved when even members of this administration, including Osinbajo’s
boss, President Buhari, began commissioning projects, including roads built by
the Jonathan administration.
“Nigerians will recall that the
Jonathan administration rebuilt the Benin-Ore portions of the Benin-Lagos road,
the Vom-Manchok road, the Kano-Zaria Road bridge (named after late Emir Ado
Bayero) and many more.
“On this recent allegation by the
Vice President, not only has the Vice President again lied, he is doing so to
divert attention from the Maina scandal in which the administration in which he
serves, by the testimony of the Maina Family, invited Abdulrasheed Maina, the
infamous alleged pension thief, back into the country, reinstated him, promoted
him and deployed him as Director of Human Resources in the ministry of Internal
affairs.
“When they were found out, the
Presidency resorted to its favorite past time of blame game by preposterously
accusing former President Jonathan of somehow magically being the brain behind
Maina’s return. This is even as the Attorney General of the Federation,
Abubakar Malami, had already revealed that he “acted in the public’s interest”
in initiating the process for Maina’s return.
“There is also the $25 billion
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation scam which is the biggest scam ever in
the history of Nigeria since 1914 to date.
“Finally, Nigerians want to know
the truth about the Babachir Lawal probe which has been concluded and handed
over to the President many months ago but of which no action has been taken.
“Nigerians want to hear the truth
about these scandals and not tired lies about looted funds that keep being
recycled without proof.
“I would like to remind the Vice
President that he is a pastor and therefore conversant with the biblical
admonition in Revelations 21:8 that “all liars, shall have their part in the
lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.”
“It is not too late for the Vice
President to turn a new leaf and begin to apologize to Nigerians for the three
million jobs a year he and his boss promised, but ended up losing 4.5 million
jobs in their first two years according to the Nigerian Bureau of statistics.
“If Vice President Osinbajo is
looking for who to blame for the present sorry state of the Nigerian economy,
he should buy a mirror.
“The rushed implementation of the
Treasury Single Account policy of the Jonathan administration, the constant
negative comments about our economy by the President while on foreign trips,
the inconsistent foreign exchange policies of the government, the advise to the
World Bank to focus only on Northern Nigeria, the openly pro Northern Agenda
which gives promotion and appointments to persons of Northern extraction
irrespective of merit or experience are to blame, not Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.”

Jonathan boy,yes that is what you are stupid Reno Omokri,always seeking to be recognised.....IDIOT you are.
ReplyDeleteIs Omokri saying the truth or not? I watched the APC Anambra governorship campaign on NTA where Osibanjo said their PMB government has paid $2billion to do second Niger bridge. Even Chris Ngige whispered to him there. I also remember that Osibanjo said GEJ did not construct any road. Truth be told, Pastor (Vice President) Osibanjo has lied!I'm a Christian, we know what the Holy Bible says about lies. David
