A political group in Nigeria says
there are fresh plots aimed at tarnishing the reputation of Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo by some political actors from within the Presidency referred to as
‘the cabal.’
The Initiative to Save Democracy
(ISD) says there is a calculated attempt by the cabal in collusion some South
West leaders to peddle outright falsehood, fake news and lies against the Vice
President.
In a press statement issued on
Saturday and signed by the Peter Oladele, Secretary of ISD, the group said it
has reliable information that the cabal would stop at nothing to distract the
Vice President from doing his work.
The group said they were working
tirelessly to malign the Vice President’s reputation and integrity after they
could not find any wrongdoing evidence against him.
“The first thing they attempted
to do was to destroy the relationship between the President and Vice President
but that has not worked despite deploying different strategies from inside and
outside.
“Then they tried to malign the
Vice President’s reputation by throwing up all sorts of trump charges against
him but with no evidence of wrongdoing that soon crumbled.
“They even referred to the N5.8
billion NEMA Emergency Intervention, the N90 billion FIRS Campaign Fund and
other fake news but all those failed too because they were fake news from the
beginning. They even went after those who have backed the Vice President,” the
statement said.
ISD then explained that the cabal
is cooking more fake news and lies against the VP and that this time, it was in
conjunction with South West leaders.
“In the coming days and week,
there will be fake news and lies about the Vice President in the media and
social media space yet again, most of it fabricated by the cabal and some
people who claim to be South West leaders.
“Their plan is to oust him in
time before 2023 elections which is still very far away. The plan of the cabal
is to ensure that they distract the Vice President every week with some fake
news. What this will ultimately mean is that instead of him to focus on the
work he is doing for Nigeria, he will be concerned about the fake news and
lies,” he said.
The group said that the cabal is
very angry with the President for showing off the cordial relationship he
enjoys with the Vice President during the Independence Day celebration on 1
October.
“Their renewed anger at the Vice
President stemmed from the showing he enjoyed with his boss during the
Independence Day celebration. The cabal said the two of them appeared to still
enjoy a very healthy relationship as they were seen talking and laughing as
something the President had said at different times.
“They will stop at nothing to
make Prof. Osinbajo look bad in the eyes of President Muhammadu Buhari, his
boss. They also don’t like the fact that he has restated his loyalty to serve
Nigeria and serve his boss, these are some of the things getting them angry.”
The group said it is too early
for the cabal to be scheming about 2023 when we are in 2019 with a lot of work
to be done by the present administration. “I think they should leave politics
for now and allow the President and Vice President concentrate on the work at
hand.
“They were elected to deliver the
dividends of democracy to Nigerians and they should be allowed to deliver their
mandate instead of pushing politics into their faces. We urge Nigerians not to
distract themselves with negative politics,” the group said.
