Vice President Yemi Osinbajo,
SAN, has declared his readiness to waive his constitutional immunity to “enable
the most robust adjudication” of several baseless allegations, insinuation and
falsehoods against his person and office.
Prof. Osinbajo made this
declaration in a tweet he personally authored via his official Twitter handle
@profOsinbajo, Wednesday afternoon.
Below is the full text of his
tweet:
“In the past few days, a spate of
reckless and malicious falsehoods have been peddled in the media against me by
a group of malicious individuals.
“The defamatory and misleading
assertions invented by this clique had mostly been making the social media
rounds anonymously.
“I have today instructed the
commencement of legal action against two individuals, one Timi Frank and
another Katch Ononuju, who have put their names to these odious falsehoods.
“I will waive my constitutional
immunity to enable the most robust adjudication of these claims of libel and
malicious falsehood.”

Timi Frank, a former deputy
national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had
alleged that the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) made N90 billion
available to the vice president for election campaign, an allegation that the
tax agency has denied.
Frank has since responded urging
the FIRS to stop deceiving Nigerians.
Frank said he cannot be
intimidated by the agency’s threat to sue him, describing the agency’s
statements as a “puerile attempt to sweep the main issues in his public
statement under the carpet”.
He said the FIRS cannot continue
to deceive Nigerians by claiming “unfounded budgetary fidelity”.
