UNILAG ex-student union leader revealed as mastermind
It was also revealed that the mastermind of this plot is at present a lecturer at the University of Ohio, USA, and a former student union leader at the University of Lagos (UNILAG).
The statement reads:
“In the fake video, a woman is seen crying and making frantic allegations that she was discriminated against by the then Attorney-General, because she was not allowed to wear the Muslim head cover for women, otherwise known as the hijab, to work.
“As observed by someone who was in the same Ministry at the time Osinbajo served as Attorney-General, no such incident ever occurred and this is just a malicious and wicked attempt to sully the sterling qualities of Prof. Osinbajo because of his Presidential aspirations."
However, Osinbajo’s secretary during his service as Attorney-General Abdul Gafar Bakare who is a Muslim stated that his boss was a benevolent man that sponsored his university program even in his old age.
While reflecting on a similar failed attempt on President Muhammadu Buhari that labeled him as an anti-Christian in a build-up to the 2015 presidential polls, the group said Vice President Osinbajo has always portrayed his unreserved and devoted love for Nigeria.
The group said:
“During his career as a university teacher, he taught Moslems and Christians alike in a convivial atmosphere. He also had excellent working and private relationships with Muslim bosses over the decades, including Judge Bola Ajibola, Former Governor Tinubu, and President Muhammadu Buhari.”
