*Jackson Ude Lied Again: VP never discussed case with Ihedioha*

* The PDP operative's lexicon of lies and the unsuspecting Nigerians*

When a former Director of Communications to an ex-president goes about deliberately fabricating tales which have zero factual basis, one can only wonder at the professional character of such an individual.

The antecedents of this fellow also will never do his credibility any justice, as he is fond of distorting facts on social media, when he actually ever mentions anything remotely close to the facts.

His pointblanknews.com blog is a well-known blackmailing tool in journalism circles with cases dating as far back as 2011, so this is not a recent development. One notable incident was when they tried to blackmail the wife of Sam Amuka, the publisher of Vanguard newspapers. Money actually exchanged hands and his accomplice , one Chinua-Ogwu, a dismissed police officer was later detained as investigations unfolded. Mrs Oyindamola Sam Amuka would later testify in court how they collected 4 million naira from her in order to quash a fabricated case. All this took place at State CID Panti, Lagos with the connivance of dubious police officers who were later dismissed or at large.

The same Chinua-Ogwu was also the pick-up guy when Jackson tried to dupe Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala after threatening to publish fake news about her ownership of a billion naira mansion in Abuja. Strangely enough he found his way into Jonathan’s government. That is a story for another day.

Jackson lives in faraway New York, but he continues to posture on Twitter like he is an appointed official inside Aso Villa. Believe him at your own peril. He cannot claim to be privy to any conversation during the VP’s visit, so how does he begin to ‘authoritatively’ sell us this bunch of hogwash?

The Supreme Court judgment was unanimous and the law has concluded on the matter. Peddling hearsay on Twitter will not get this brother anywhere near the corridors of power, to which he so desperately yearns to return. Anybody that has his contact should advise him to get a real job.
