BusinessDay Apologises For Fake News Against Osinbajo by TheRareGem1(f): 9:06pm On Aug 13, 2020
On 9th August 2020, businessday.ng published a story titled “Ex APC spokesman asks Buhari to probe Osinbajo, AuGF over alleged N10bn withdrawal from TSA.”

That story failed to meet the editorial standards of Business Day Newspaper, as we have since discovered that the story was baseless, unfounded and unsupported by any factual substance.

We have already disabled the links to the story and hereby retract it completely and unreservedly.

Business Day apologises to His Excellency, Professor Yemi Osinbajo SAN, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, his family, friends, colleagues and well-wishers for the unwarranted inconvenience and embarrassment the publication has occasioned.

We hold the Vice President in very high esteem and appreciate his enormous worthy and enviable achievements in the private sector as a respected Professor of Law – of multiple decades standing and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, amongst others; and the worthy and enviable strides he has made in public service as the former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice Lagos and presently Vice President of Nigeria.

We hereby convey our sincere, profound and unstinted apology for allowing our newspaper to be used as a platform by which the said news item was conveyed. The said publication is highly regretted by us and we urge our esteemed readers and the general public not to ascribe or attach our reputation for disseminating accurate information that we expect the public to trust to it.

A letter conveying our unreserved apology has since been sent to the Vice President.

Imagine! So, what was the irresponsible display for? The fake news peddling was to what end? We try to educate people about fake news but they keep arguing blindly, I hope they've seen it now.

Men of integrity are not easy to come by this days. Even the few that we are fortunate to meet we don't value them.

God bless our VP

We know those behind the fake news to malign PYO's reputation but God pass them.. idiots whose leaders all cut their teeth in Yorubaland but go about tarnishing image of Yorubas and Yorubaland.

Prof. should press charges and sue BusinessDay and other useless news outfits for defamation else this evil will not stop.. Evil they say prevails when good men fail to act.

Osinbajo is a fine gentleman, cool and calm, we know he is a target of fake news and campaign of calumny because he is in a better placed position to become president in 2023, the SE are doing everything possible to blackmail him, because they don't stand a chance

I see osinbajo as too gentlemanly. He needs to show some balls too so that all these baseless attacks won't be directed at him. You can't just tell any silly lie against the vice president without verification properly.
