Osinbajo’s Lips Belong To Satan, Omokri Reacts To Claim GEJ Shared N150bn

Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has “surrendered his lips to Satan”, says Reno Omokri in reaction to the Vice President’s claim that former President Goodluck Jonathan shared N150 billion a fortnight to the 2015 elections.

Osinbajo had made the claim during his address at the 7th Presidential Quarterly Business Forum for Private Sector Stakeholders that held in Abuja on Monday.

The Vice President was quoted as saying at the event: “We saw from the presentation of the minister of finance that N14 billion was spent on agriculture in 2014, transportation N15 billion, so the total spent on infrastructure in those three years were N153 billion and in two weeks before the elections, N150 billion was essentially shared.”

But reacting to Osinbajo’s claims, Omokri lambasted the Vice President for allegedly making baseless allegations despite being a professor of law.

“It is sad that the vice-president has again surrendered his lips to Satan to be used to spread slander and lies. Nigerians may recall that lying is the most consistent achievement of professor Osinbajo’s almost three years as vice-president,” Omokri said in a statement on Tuesday.

“On this most recent allegation by vice-president Osinbajo, let me state categorically that former President Jonathan did not share 150 billion two weeks to the 2015 election.

“If professor Osinbajo has proof that former President Jonathan did so, then we challenge him to publish his proof. He is a professor of law and ought to know that he who alleges must prove.

“Again, it is a lie from the pit of hell that the Jonathan administration spent only N14 billion on agriculture and N153 billion on infrastructure in three years as alleged by the fallacious Osinbajo.

“The Jonathan administration budgeted and spent over $10 billion on infrastructure in the 5 years between May 6, 2010 and May 29, 2015.

“The Buhari administration, which in less than three years has borrowed more money than the PDP borrowed in 16 years cannot point to even one major project they have started and completed,

“Both president Buhari and vice-president Osinbajo keep accusing the Jonathan administration of being corrupt and claim that they run an anti-corruption government,” said the former presidential aide.
