‘Bury Your Heads In Shame’, Omokri Tells Lai, El-Rufai As UK Vindicates Jonathan
A former aide of ex-president Goodluck Jonathan and critic of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has described the Minister of Information and culture, Lai Mohammed and the governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai as “liars” after the British Government debunked statement that Jonathan rejected their offer to rescue Chibok Girls.
Recall that the British Authority, yesterday, said claims making round on the media that Jonathan rejected their offer to help rescue the over 200 girls kidnapped by the Boko Haram terrorist were untrue and false.
Shortly after the British Government vindicated Jonathan, Omokri, took to his Facebook page to rebuke the duo for spearheading the circulation of the report.

He further chided the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) for devoting time to promote the propaganda rather than inform Nigerians on trending economic issues.
He also accused Lai Mohammed and El-rufai of being silent since the rumour against Jonathan were debunked.
Omokri said: “Can Lai Mohammed and Nasir El-Rufai now bury their heads in shame as the British Government has debunked the lie that Goodluck Jonathan rejected their offer to rescue Chibok Girls?
“Lai released a lying statement against Jonathan accusing him; while Elrufai, a man who cannot rescue his own citizens of Southern Kaduna and whom Olusegun Obasanjo described as a “pathological” liar with a “penchant” for character assassination (in his book My Watch) was circulating the lie on Social Media.

“NTA news at 9 PM on Monday the 6th of March, 2017, was devoted to promoting this lie rather than to inform Nigerians of the good work that Acting President Osinbajo is doing.
“But now that the truth is out there is total silence from both guys. I know these people very well. Please do not doubt me when I say lying is their main occupation!”
