The Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN) says the church will defend for Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo in
the N90 billion allegation levelled against him.
Supo Ayokunle, CAN national
president, made this known on Friday when he led a delegate of the association
to visit Osinbajo.
Timi Frank, a former deputy
spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had alleged that Osinbajo
mismanaged N90 billion allegedly made available by the FIRS for 2019 election
campaign purposes.
The FIRS had denied the claim,
saying it doesn’t have such funds.
Speaking at the Christian
Ecumenical Centre in Abuja, Ayokunle told journalists that the N90billion
corruption allegation is not true.
He said proponents of the claim
should tender evidence or desist from tarnishing the image of the vice
president.
“He has cleared the air that the
allegation is baseless and there is no truth in it and that some people are
plotting against him and he was ready to provide himself to be cleared,” he
said.
“If there is an allegation there
must be evidence and that it can never happen and will never happen. The church
and the entire country will fight for him.”
Meanwhile, Osinbajo had said he
would waive his constitutional immunity to be investigated.
He also said he has commenced
legal action against two individuals, “one Timi Frank and another Katch
Ononuju, who have put their names to these odious falsehoods.”
