Senator, Musiliu Obanikoro has debunked a report from Saharareporters
that he purchased a home in Gwinnett County in Georgia, U.S in 2014 when he was
serving as Minister of State for Defence. The obviously angered Obanikoro took
to Twitter to not only denied the story but also reaffirmed that he already has
a case in court against the media platform, and will not deter to pursue it to
logical conclusion. Continue to reading…
"Ordinarily, I wouldn't dignify SaharaReporters with a
response to the baseless and shameful journalism it practices, but there is a
limit even to new media madness. Dragging my children into your deliberate
campaign and onslaught against my person, however will not be ignored and I
demand you cease and refrain from this practice and limit your scope to me
only.
For the record, I have been in public service since 1992,
and I have never owned or currently own a home anywhere in the world outside
Nigeria, however I am proud of my son and his family who are private citizens
for their accomplishment as they have the right to do so.
I still have a case against @SaharaReporters and its owner
filed at their “Hide Out” in the State of New York, and this will certainly add
to the body of evidence against this hack-journalism platform.
Perhaps this is in retaliation to the suit, but be rest
assured, I won’t be deterred and will pursue this to a logical conclusion.
While I remain open to answering any question on my conduct
as a public servant in any administration at state and federal levels in
Nigeria, I urge responsible practitioners of Journalism to refrain from helping
hack journalists bring their profession into disrepute with baseless rumours
and the blind crusade of an already biased and bought media platform.
My aspirations now therefore are to seek further education
as I am doing in pursuit of a degree in History at the Oglethorpe University
based in Georgia USA and to Mentor the next generation of leaders in Nigeria."
