Dr. PEREGRINO BRIMAH EXPOSES JONATHANIAN FICTION - "Why Jonathanians desperately want Osinbajo and El-Rufai to fight"

Buhari&Osinbajo

The first malicious tale was cooked up by Jonathan's Trent blog. (We all knew when Jonathan Wendell Simlin, aka Reno Omokri, Reuben and co established the online blog for 2015 election campaigns). The lie invented described a so-called clash between Vice president Yemi Osinbajo and Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai, with the Vice allegedly storming out during an alleged National Economic Council (NEC) held on 17th September, 2015.

The astonishing truth however as confirmed at the time from those on ground was that not only was there no such clash or walk-out but worse yet, there was no such stated meeting actually held that day. On the very day the Vice President and Kaduna Governor were chatting in the Vice's office when perhaps having heard the ridiculous rumor invented or perhaps per chance, they tweeted a picture of them together in Osinbajo's office.
