Vice President Yemi Osinbajo seemed to have lost his cool on Wednesday when he said he will sue former deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Timi Frank; and one Katch Ononuju for “defamatory and misleading assertions”.
Mr. Osinbajo said this in a tweet on Wednesday, explaining that in order to clear his name of their accusations, he is ready to waive his right to immunity from investigation.
Taking to his verified Twitter handle @ProfOsinbajo the otherwise tolerant VP tweeted:
“In the past few days, a spate of reckless and malicious falsehoods have been peddled in the media against me by a group of malicious individuals,” he tweeted.
“The defamatory and misleading assertions invented by this clique have been making the social media rounds anonymously.
“I have today instructed the commencement of legal action against two individuals, one Timi Frank and another Katch Ononuju, who have put their names to these odious falsehoods.
“I will waive my constitutional immunity to enable the most robust adjudication of these claims of libel and malicious falsehood.”
