DEFAMATION: Osinbajo Seeks N2b Damages Against Fani-Kayode

Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the running mate of All Progressives Congress, APC’s presidential candidate, Gen Muhammadu Buhari, has commenced a legal action against Femi Fani-Kayode over claims that he swore an oath with former Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He is seeking N2 billion damages and other reliefs for the alleged defamatory statement made against him by Fani-Kayode.

Fani-Kayode, the spokesman for the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, during a press conference held recently in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital,  had alleged that Prof. Osinbajo had a secret oath with Bola Tinubu to be his surrogate as Vice President for a period of six months after which he, Osinbajo would resign.

Fani-Kayode had also alleged that the secret oath was to give way for Tinubu to eventually become VP to Gen Buhari in the event that the APC wins the presidential election.

In a pre-litigation letter, Prof Osinbajo through his lawyer, Femi Falana, demanded a retraction of the defamatory statement which was published in national print and electronic media.

In the letter, Falana contended that the statement credited to Fani-Kayode portrayed Osinbanjo as someone who is complicit in a fraud against the Nigerian people.

Falana said that the statement was a vicious, wicked and reckless ploy to impugn the reputation of Osinbajo and lower him in the estimation of right thinking members of the public.

The letter stated: “The direct meaning, purport and innuendo or insinuation of the false, misleading and defamatory statement is that our client, Prof. Osinbajo is deceitful and participating in a devise that constitutes subterfuge and lacks integrity in concert with others who you also describe as evil, insensitive, wicked, selfish and desperate.”

Falana also alleged that Fani-Kayode’s statement portrayed Osinbajo who is a pastor, professor of law, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, as having engaged in a conduct that is incompatible with his faith, role and ethic as a senior and respected lawyer.

Falana subsequently demanded from Fani-Kayode an immediate retraction of the offensive and derogatory publication and an apology which must be aired on four television stations and published in four national newspapers with N2 billion as payment for damages already caused by the publication.

Falana said his client would proceed to the court to seek appropriate legal redress if  Fani-Kayode failed to comply with his demands.

FFK will soon run bankruptcy










Very soon

Abeg bros, collect that money. I am sure that can feed some students for some weeks. This should be one way of generating income as soon as you guys take over. The litigation against AIT alone will be enough to pay some lecturers.

Watch out for the new movie:
FFK in Trouble

Nice one, teach that scumbag a lesson.

Islie:
FFK will soon run bankruptcy










Very soon

All the money he think he has made will soon go the drain




This aside from the case he has with EFCC...... This guy can't he play the game like Okupe.
He, will soon know whose mouth is smelling

Let wait n see how the story Unfold!!!

The FFK I know. 1. Blunt. 2. Ruthless. 3 courageous. 4. Bold. 5. fluent. 6. Fear - No man. But Truely, politics is a game where trust is not needed, conscience is a sin, just play the game and make sure you are unhurt. Anyone who gets hurt is not your business.

All na wash.
Osinbajo you are guilty as charged so stop ranting.
They did same to Pastor Tunde Bakare back in 2011 though he refused to sign the resignation letter but yours is a different ball game.
I'll rather dig grave,call my friends and neighbours and give my PVC a befitting burial than vote for Mallam Buhari.
GEJ 2019

LOL, the harm FFK is causing them is catastrophic !

Time to teach garrulous FFK a lesson.

If pikin sabi pretend say him die, papa self must sabi pretend to bury am.

Does he have to react to every comment about him? And he wants to be vice president in Nigeria? And he's in a party that insults the President every day. Dude thinks too highly of himself.

Apc, association of DREAMERS . GEJ till 2019!!!

FFK faces years of ruinous litigation battles

If his Oga, Mr Jonathan loses the election, FFK will receive the shock of his life when none of the PDP big wigs will answer his call anymore.

Outside of politics, I cant imagine any of them would want to associate with a man like FFK.


He'll soon be on his own.

If somebody calls u a thief, you will ignore it because you are running for the office of the VP?

Why exactly do we think like this?

But the Bible teaches him 'forgiveness'. More so, that he is a "pastor".

How old are you?
Childish talk.

Oga u for jeje say u dey look for money to dey run ur campaign. Haba 2billion for defarmation of ur character if to say im murder ur character nko? As in murder no be assasination oooo.

GEJ may soon beg Osinbajo to withdraw the suit against FFK the way he begged GMB to temper justice with mercy against Doyin Okupe boy.

Na today!
Pastor Osinbajo is just chasing shadows because nothing will come out of the case
The earlier he brace up for the heats, tantrums and allegations, the better for him...
Afterall he decided to join an evil party APCheats

Btw, the allegation has been found to be true

GEJ till 2019!!!

These people are really broke the other it was Tinubu today is yemi.....makes me wonder how much damage will Gej claim! U guys should go and norrow money to complete the campaign afterall buhari have borrowed b4. Defamation my foot .how are you, everybody

You can't start calling a cow 'master' coz you want to eat beef. Osinbajo will not allow a nuisance like ffk damage his personality with lies just because he is seeking public office.

Politics is dirty but that doesn't mean you should be bereft of any form of integrity as is the case with the lousy ffk.

If I was osinbajo, i'd charge him with up to 10billion naira so that he never recovers from the financial meltdown he suffers after payment!

Oloshi ffk!

Ffk is just using jona to make wealth, that broda has been bankrupt for a while, his appointment into the campaign committee is a big relief for him, he will nt only make money, his sins are forgiven, however, his recent blackmails and maligning of opposition figure might turn out to be his biggest regret.

Long overdue.

Lets see how the story unfolds........


One thing is certain Osinbanjo is just bluffing!


APC we know to always threaten with no action to back it up.


We are watching!

Mk I c if fp sure. Well jst incase, mk dem compensate am for saying d truth abi. Him Fada tongue

Abeg, face your impending winloss. No be dis wan we wan hear

Osinbajo is actually piloting his own failure by further amplifying the rhetoric. These people are actually learners.

This is Pastor Tunde Bakare accusing Tinubu.

The earlier you realize APC is a Ponzi scheme the better for Nigeria.

APC is Scam!!

Who says GEJ is clueless?

As you can see, the plan is working.

His boys are keeping APC giants busy with claims and counter claims while the boss is campaigning.

Next Buhari will sue AIT and NTA and Fayose and PEJ

Before you know it, March 28th is over.

Hahahahahah

This is not how to play politics. This is really dirty game. Get free manual 4 worm-like crawling movement in the body and joint pains. http://www.doublegandm.com/download.html
