The Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has given two men seven days to retract the allegation that the ‘Change Begins With Me’ concept was not his, and apologise or be sued for libel.

Shortly after President Muhammadu Buhari had, September 8, 2016, flagged off the new media-based campaign aimed at changing the attitude of Nigerians towards national life, two men -Akin Fadeyi and Omo Bazuaye, who run a communications firm known as Bufferzone International Limited, Lagos, claimed ownership of the concept and accused Mohammed of adopting the idea from the rejected proposals they had earlier presented to him.

Mohammed has denied the claim, saying that he had already concluded the campaign concept with his team before being inaugurated as a minister and would therefore not understand how he could have   stolen anybody’s idea.

Consequently, he asked the law firm of Falana and Falana Chambers to write the two men demanding a retraction and apologise within seven days.

In the notice issued on September 19, 2016 by the law firm and signed by Oludare Falana Esq, Mohammed said: "Having damaged our client’s hard earned reputation by your reckless action, we have his instructions to demand a retraction of your libellous publication within seven days of the receipt of this letter.

"Take notice that if you fail or refuse to accede to our client’s demands, we have his instructions to sue you with a view to restoring his reputation which your reckless publication has damaged."

I don't take insults well, just today I decided I won't engage in tribal insults but you had to call me a zombie and tell me to use my brain


You don't want to be doing that with me, honestly


Let those people prove that Lai stole the concept

If they can't they will be sued and there's nothing you can do about it


I'll let this slide, next time I'll send you crying to your momma

It could be that lai stole the concept ,we all know that lai Mohammed tell lies a lot.

Good move

This is a clear case of whom the gods want to kill they first make mad.

Liar Mohammed would have discreetly reached out to these guys and reach an amicable settlement but alas... He thinks with his lying mouth.

The guys in question said they have evidence including emails,text messaged and recorded audio... They will surely present it in court.

Change begins with liar Mohammed serving some jail time for stealing, plagiarism and lying

Mr Liar Mohammed is back from exile! Sue ke, if Nigerians decide to sue Mr Liar Mohammed from all his lies will he not die in prison?

I hope the court entertains the case so that they jail that your useless tongue you use in your endless lies

Ps Liar Mohammed should either prove his case with facts or settle those guys.

You on the other hand can suck a chickens pénis for all I care

Anytime i see the name lai. I regard any other thing accompanying it with little seriousness. I even doubt if the Mohammed is his name or a lie too

Is it Fadeye now or Fadeyi?
Lai baba, sue anybody!

Instead of this government to focus on how to reduce hardship in the land, they are chasing shadows

Oh Lord where have we gone wrong

Mttcheew

Is this the next thing to do? When there are national issues that needs very urgent attention.

I'm sure there's freedom to steal.

He wants to "safe" face like Simeonnwabekss would say.

Nigeria Is Becoming A Joke.
