APC’s VP candidate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has commenced legal actions
against Femi Fani-Kayode over the statement he made last weekend that he
(Osinbajo) swore an oath with former Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed
Tinubu, to step down six month after election.
Osinbajo, through his lawyer, Femi Falana is seeking N2billion damages
for the alleged defamatory statement, he is also demanding a retraction
of the statement and an apology which must
be aired on four television stations and published in four national
newspapers
"The direct meaning, purport and innuendo or
insinuation of the false, misleading and defamatory statement is that
our client, Prof. Osinbajo is deceitful and participating in a devise
that constitutes subterfuge and lacks integrity in concert with others
who you also describe as evil, insensitive, wicked, selfish and
desperate.” the statement read in part
Falana said if Fani-Kayode doesn't comply with his demands, they would
proceed to court to seek redress as he portrayed Osinbajo, who's a
pastor and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, in a very bad light
