Is very sad how Osibanjo is intimidating the media and press to submission.

No wonder he was accused of having track record of muscling the press/media to submission.

Pastor Indeed.

There is no day on this Nairaland when you are ever thinking straight. What do you see in anything Timi Frank said that has any proof in the first place?

So many illiterates in Nigeria. So seeking a judicial redress amounts to intimidation? If you were sure of your story against the VP, you would not retract! You would tell him to go to court. Or do you want fake news to continue unabated?
Den osinbanjo will now disobey court order like his oga abi?

It's very sad that we have youth like you in the country and our society who instead of fighting against fake news you are online supporting fake news peddlers and small time you will come blaming Buhari for the woe of the country while people like you are actually the problem.

Ok. Waiting for Timi

Timi currently resides in Dubai and is in cahoots with the Cameroonian Candidate.

He will not recant nor retract his lies. Well, he is not coming back to Nigeria anytime soon, that nonentity.

Meanwhile from the title of the program, one should know it's Gossip and as such should not be taken seriously....

How is he Intimidating the media ? If you've got evidence and fact. Bring it to the table. Wazobia have done their research and they found out it all lies. What else do you need ? Are you just a hater or what ?

Wazobia FM has apologised and retracted its story on the allegations made by Timi Frank that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo received N90 billion from FIRS as campaign funds for 2019 polls.

Wazobia FM apologized to Prof. Osinbajo, saying that it had since discovered, like other well-meaning individuals and Nigerian organisations including Vanguard Newspaper that the allegations were baseless, untrue and unsubstantiated.

The radio station aired the news report of the unfounded allegations on its popular programme titled: ”Dem Say Dem Say”, retracted the reports, saying ”We are sorry Vice President.”

Wazobia FM tendered its unreserved apology to Prof Osinbajo thorough the presenter of the programme, popularly known as Expensive James, saying that it erroneously joined the broadcast of fake news.

It was gathered that the Vice President, had ,through his solicitors, Osaror Ehogbami SAN and Femi Atoyebi SAN, written to the station that the report was meant to tarnish his hard-earned reputation built over the years, saying that Vice President Osinbajo had never been found wanting or linked to any act of corruption in his private or public offices.

In a letter to the station, the solicitors had said that for over four decades, the VP had been a distinguished scholar and legal practitioner and had risen through the ranks and files of his career. The lawyers added that the VP was Attorney General of Lagos State for 8 years and became a Senior Advocate of Nigeria in 2002 with unblemished records.

Osinbajo is a man of integrity, nobody can blackmail him

The same Osibanjo that was making injurious allegations against Jonathan without any evidence can't stand the heat?

I listened to the programme, wazobiafm did not carry it as a news, rather they carried it as a story making round, I wonder why osibanjo did not sue the person that made the allegation but to the media that said that someone made an allegation.
The news also made it to the front page on NL, he should also sue NL and all the people that commented on it.

I really wish u own a TV or radio station and air a news that can't be substantiated and see the legal implications of ur misgivings. I believe Tinubu muscled AIT in 2015 when AIT had to publish rebuttal and air apologies for months. People just jump on issues they know nothing about and spill trash

It is obvious that lies cannot be hidden neither the truth. Though, It may take time before the two come to bear but you can be rest assured that it will be discovered one day. In conclusion, Osinbajo hard earned reputation over the years cannot be tarnished by propagandist or any paid online miscreant

How exactly is he intimidating the press?? They should not have retracted the statement if they could proove the allegations against him!! it's that simple...Would you just watch on without doing anything when you feel you have been wrongly accused of committing a crime??
