A letter written to
President Muhammadu Buhari, by a former president, Olusegun Obasanjo on Sunday
where he alleged, among other things, that the government was planning to rig
the forthcoming general elections, has elicited several reactions.
On Tuesday, a Twitter User,
Olayinka Samuel, who tweets with the handle @_olayinka, tweeted that a quote he
attributed to popular human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN),
Femi Falana.
“If you are from Yorubaland
and abusing Obasanjo because of Buhari for saying the truth, you are a bastard”
– Femi Falana.
Olayinka’s profile, he is
an administrator who also doubles as a public affairs analyst and a media
strategist.
The fact:
Fact-checkers at the Centre
for Democracy and Development (CDD), did a Google search of the quote, and the
result only so instances of the quote on Facebook. The quote was not carried by
any major credible newspaper or website. This is strange because Falana is one
of the most popular public analysts in the country and his statements are usually
reported by major news organisations in the country.
CDD reached out to Falana
for comments and he denied making the statement
He said he had no business
joining issues with two retired generals.
“My attention has been
drawn to a puerile statement credited to me by some irresponsible Yoruba
irredentists on the intraclass feud between Ex-President Obasanjo and President
Buhari. I urge members of the public to disregard the fake news linking me with
the politicians who have pitched their tents with both retired Generals,” he
said in a statement sent to CDD on Tuesday evening.
Verdict
From the above explanation,
it is obvious that the quote attributed to Falana is FALSE.
