Friends and associates of the Vice-President. Prof. Yemi Osinbajo have condemned online reports linking him as the owner of the building that collapsed on Monday on Gerrard Road, in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State.

While commiserating with the victims and families of the deceased, the VP’s friends and associates in a statement signed by Richard Akinnola said some people are trying to score cheap political goals by tarnishing Osinbajo’s name with the tragedy.

The statement reads “It is most unfortunate that at a time when people are mourning over the collapse of the Ikoyi building and the loss of several lives in the most unfortunate circumstances, some mischief makers are trying to scorecheap political goals and use this very sad situation to tarnish the name and image of our hardworking and humble Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN”.

“The Social media has suddenly become awash with information trying to link the VP directly or indirectly to the collapsed structure”.

“Some stories say the developer, Mr Femi Osibiona is a front for some big guns in Government, others directly say the land is owned by the VP, whilst others make a veiled connection to the Governor of Lagos.

For the avoidance of doubt and for the sake of those who may be misled by the spurious and totally unfounded statements, we as concerned colleagues and friends of the VP wish to make it clear that the VP has never been involved , neither does he have any ownership interest in the developers Company or business”.

“The facts can be easily verified from the Corporate affairs Commission or land registry which the malicious writers have failed to check or show a connection between the VP and the collapsed building”.

“We commiserate with the families of those who have lost lives and limbs as well as those still in agony of not knowing what the fate of those beneath the rubles in this most unfortunate incident. We urge that as Nigerians, we should show more compassion and empathy to grieving compatriots rather than attempting to score political goals through it”.

TOPCRUISE:
They want to prevent Osinbajo from lying. That is why they want to talk for him. Let Osinbajo talk. Don't talk for him. He is a pastor. If a politician swore on oath not to lie he will ask good liars to talk for him inorder to vindicate himself
