Reno Omokri, former Presidential
aide, has mocked Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo over his reported threat to sue
global search engine, Google Inc.
He lampooned Osinbajo on Saturday
after the Vice President wrote Google over ‘false allegations‘ made against him
on a YouTube page.
A video published on September 20
on the video-sharing site by Roots TV Nigeria alleged that Osinbajo “used”
federal agencies under his supervision as vice president “to stack funds” for
2023 general elections.
The allegation is based mainly on
a claim made by Katch Ononuju, described in the report as a political analyst.
But the vice president’s lawyers
had said in the letter to Google that the report was untrue and defamatory.
“The publication is undoubtedly a
barefaced attempt to unfairly discredit and expose our client to contempt and
ridicule in the eyes of right-thinking members of the society,” the lawyers
said.
The vice president demanded that
Google remove or suspend the publication immediately or be ready for legal
action.
The letter was delivered to the
Google office in Lagos.
Reacting via a post on his
Facebook page, Omokri wrote: “I use to think Pastor Osinbajo was very
intelligent until he threatened to sue Google over a blogger‘s video.
“You are a professor of law.
Google is just a host! Where is their liability? Is Osinbajo overrated?
“I never watched the video, but I
understand it was also uploaded on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
“Will Osinbajo sue them too?
Nothing has damaged the aura of intelligence around Osinbajo as his threat to
sue Google.
“Google’s turnover in a year is
more than Nigeria’s annual budget. And Osinbajo wants to sue them for hosting a
video? With people like these in charge, no wonder Nigeria is now owing
P&ID $9 billion.”
