Osinbajo Has Picked Up Lying As Calling- Omokri

Former presidential media aide Reno Omokri has alleged that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has “forgotten his pastoral calling and has instead taken up the satanic calling of lying.”


Osinbajo had recently alleged that, “We have a situation where a former first lady came out openly to claim over $171m found in her accounts and you think Nigerians will simply overlook that.

“You have a situation where hundreds of billions have been recovered including the discovery of $43M cash in an apartment in Ikoyi, and you think Nigerians will simply forget that?”

However, Omokri, while reacting to the allegations, said “there is no former First Lady from the Jonathan administration that has claimed $171 million in a bank account.

“Upon a promise of a suit for libel, I challenge Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to name that person.”

He noted that the present government under President Muhammadu Buhari had recorded several corruption cases without any conviction.

“Obviously, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has forgotten his pastoral calling and has instead taken up the satanic calling of lying,” Omokri added.

“A man who ought to be talking about how many jobs, projects and infrastructure his administration has delivered has been reduced to telling lies about a so called anti-corruption war that is unable to impress Transparency International or other global anti-corruption activists. How unfortunate.

“But perhaps the clearest indication of how Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has fallen from his pastoral calling is the fact that Pastor Osinbajo, is quick to publicly speak lies against Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and others.

“Yet this same man did not think it wise to say even one word of comfort to the parents of Leah Sharibu and the Christian community who are in deep anguish over her ordeal at the hands of Boko Haram.”
