Ordinarily, I do not get involved in name-calling and mud-slinging. Neither do I attack people nor try to defame their personalities in the course of my political journey. I have also avoided replying to cheap, wicked or malicious blackmail publicly or privately in the same irresponsible manner that they are thrown at me. Anyone who has followed my corporate and political life knows that I always stay on issues, with my focus on finding solutions to societal challenges and ameliorating the suffering of the people.

I do however need to clarify a few issues, especially since a third party is involved. There is a recent case where my name has been mentioned in a malicious and cheap blackmail against one of Nigeria's best Television presenters, Mr. Rufai Oseni, who has stood sternly for what is right and has challenged me fearlessly on some occasions while speaking truth to power. I have recently been mentioned to have bribed Mr. Rufai Oseni by financially sponsoring the burial of his father.

Let me clearly state that this is a categorical lie. It is not true, cannot be true and will never be true. Everyone who understands or follows my approach to things will attest to the fact that I do not give anyone money to promote my name.

I have never and will never monetarily induce any journalist to speak or write in my favour. When I am invited to birthday celebrations or funerals, people know that I do attend. Countless journalists, media personnel, the less privileged, the wealthy etc.,

have all invited me to their occasions, and they will attest to the fact that I honour such invitations, especially when people are grieving. I have never been to Rufai's village. Even at the point of writing this, I do not know where he is from.

One then wonders why people could decide to tarnish other people's image for no justifiable reason. To those involved in such evil endeavours, I wish them well and pray that God will have mercy on them.

I still maintain that our focus in Nigeria should be on rescuing our dear Nation from the many challenges plaguing it. We should focus more on lifting people out of poverty. Millions of Nigerians do not know where their next meal will come from.

We have millions of unemployed youths in their productive age with very little production going on in Nigeria to create jobs. Finding solutions to these challenges should command our attention, for the progress of our dear nation, Nigeria - and that is what I remain committed to. A New Inclusive and Sustainable Nigeria is POssible! -PO

Reno Omokri has aimed a lot of tweets at Rufai Oseni in the past few days. This is because Reno says that Rufai accused him of lying when he said that he went to Chicago State University and that he verified that Bola Tinubu attended the university.

Reno claims that Chicago State University has now proven that he said the truth (Chicago State University recently stated that Bola Tinubu attended the university).

This is one of the tweets that Reno made.

Reno Omokri @renoomokri

AriseTV and Mr Rufai Oseni should kindly answer the following question. Did Mr Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, fund the funeral of Mr Rufai Oseni's father by giving him money in cash or via electronic means, either directly or through a third party, in August 2022, and has that influenced Mr. Oseni's open bias in favour of Peter Obi, whereby Mr. Oseni usee the AriseTV platform as a medium to campaign for and launder the image of Mr Peter Obi, and his undisguised personal animosity towards me for my refusal to support Mr Peter Obi's Presidential ambition?

I counsel them to think very carefully before they answer.

Look, I have a Masters in Law and am not moved by empty sophistry. I asked a question that Mr. Peter Obi has NOT answered and has tried to use semantics to dodge. My question is this:

Did Peter Obi fund the funeral of Mr Rufai Oseni's father by giving him money in cash or via electronic means, either directly or through a third party, and has that influenced Mr. Oseni's open bias in favour of Peter Obi, whereby Mr. Oseni used the AriseTV platform as a medium to campaign for and launder the image of Mr Peter Obi, and his undisguised personal animosity towards me for my refusal to support Mr Peter Obi's Presidential ambition?

Yes or no. Mr. Peter Obi, you did not respond to that question. You said you did not "bribe" Mr Rufai Oseni. However, that is not what I asked.

Did you or did you not give money, either directly or indirectly, to Mr Rufai Oseni? Yes or no? Simple.

Point of correction, Oseni is not worthy to be called a journalist.

Same Peter Obi claimed he did not fly in ANAP Jet, only to look foolish when evidence showed otherwise.

Simple yes or no, Obi no wan answer. Lmao.

I've often said it that majority of the people who criticize government, do so because they are not directly or indirectly benefiting from the government. This is the reason many of them are so bitter and full of hate, to the point they let reason and fact fly over their empty head to the point they are willing to believe anything and everything.

Even if obi did is that now a crime? If I were obi I will never give this hungry idiot called reno omokri any media attention the best I would have done is to sue him for whatever he is worth for defamation if obi don't deal with that idiot he will definitely continue to malign obi when ever he feels like for absolutely no reason.
