Reuben Abati “Sorry about your man” “Thank you” “You know I used to think that this COVID-19 thing is a kind of scientific joke, but now I am beginning to take it seriously.”  “How can you say that? It is people like you who mislead the public. I hope you have not been listening to those Pastors who tell people that COVID-19 is not real. I urge you not to commit suicide by exposing yourself unnecessarily. Are you aware that as at this moment the death toll worldwide is close to one million? And that over 21 million persons have been infected? You call that a joke?” “But I hear it affects only some kind of people, the rich in particular. Big men.”  “No. You only get to hear about the death of big men.

Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo. The author of the headlined article, Bayo Oluwasanmi, appears to be a tired opinion writer. Or else, how can one describe Mr. Oluwasanmi’s recent article, which was published by Sahara Reporters on Monday, 17th August 2020, other than that from a writer with a penchant to pen the ridiculous laced with mischief and obvious bias? The said writer wanted to give readers on the platform something to chew about, but he did not have anything of substance to write about, but regurgitated old articles and false allegations against the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN. This is not the first time Bayo has authored spurious articles against Osinbajo, only this time, the emptiness of his missive was so loud that it was negligible. Even readers could tell its sorry rustiness from the debunked claims it rehashed. However, for the sake of setting the records straight, the said article needed a response.
