The recent wave of corruption allegations against Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is the work of some cabals who aim to destroy President Muhammadu Buhari, a Christian cleric has alleged.
Punch quotes founder and presiding bishop of the Sword of the Spirit Ministries in Ibadan, Oyo State, Wale Oke when he attempted some push back for the embattled vice president.
Oke also debunked claims that Osinbajo is corrupt and involved in the N90 billion FIRS fund allegedly released for the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential campaign.
The popular cleric made the disclosures while receiving the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists led by Jadesola Ajibola at his church in the Agodi area of Ibadan.
Oke said, “The VP did not only deny involving himself in any sleaze but used the opportunity to inform us that some cabals were behind the allegations.
“The VP is always reaching out to Christian leaders on the need to support Buhari. Osinbajo is loyal to a fault.
“So, those plotting his downfall through orchestrated campaigns should fear God. This man is not corrupt. He has been a friend for many years,” he added.
In the past few weeks, Vice President Osinbajo had threatened to take legal action against those peddling lies and rumours about him. A political activist who works closely with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Timi Frank is one of the leading accusers.
Osinbajo also threatened to sue Internet giant, Google over videos hosted by Rock TV which contained information on his alleged diversion of campaign funds for the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2019 campaigns.
