This was contained in a statement signed by the<br \/>\nNational Secretary of the group, Dr. Oyedokun Alli.<\/p>\n<p>According to the group, the fabricated lies and coordinated media<br \/>\nonslaught against the person and office of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo<br \/>\nin recent weeks is highly unfortunate, disgraceful, and condemnable.<\/p>\n<p>It is embarrassing enough when leading National newspapers are tendering<br \/>\napology on outright lies published without due diligence against the<br \/>\nperson and the office of the vice president.<\/p>\n<p>More so, the new attempt to use credibility-deficient blogsites to<br \/>\ncontinue to spread lies against Prof. Osinbajo will also fail like the<br \/>\ntraditional newspapers did in the recent past. Attempts to link the<br \/>\nincorruptible vice president to imagined and perceived corrupt practices<br \/>\nby the bloggers is very amateurish and will further discredit whatever<br \/>\nlittle credibility remains for such blog sites.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr. Oyedokun; &#8220;at a time when all hands must be on deck to<br \/>\ncreate enabling environment for citizens to thrive in this Covid-19 era,<br \/>\npolitical jobbers have now made it their past time to be planting false<br \/>\ninformation against one of the leading lights of the current<br \/>\nadministration.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They keep waging a war against an imaginary enemy over their 2023<br \/>\npresidential ambition. It is highly condemnable trying to destroy a man<br \/>\nbecause they see him as a threat to their inordinate ambition.<\/p>\n<p>In his words; &#8220;Prof. Yemi Osinbajo&#8217;s incorruptibility can be traced to<br \/>\nhis uprightness way back in his university days as a don, and then as<br \/>\nCommissioner for Justice and Attorney General of Lagos State and now as<br \/>\nthe vice president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;His loyalty is uncommon, his commitment great, and his effort against<br \/>\ncorruption is well documented. So how on earth will anybody be trying so<br \/>\nhard to soil Osinbajo&#8217;s name? He asked rhetorically.<\/p>\n<p>The group, therefore, warned that any further attempt to soil the VP&#8217;s<br \/>\nincorruptible records will be resisted and those behind the dastard act<br \/>\nexposed to public ridicule.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A social-political group, The Progressive League (TPL) has described the subtle attempt to link the name of Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN to&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60050,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Linking Osinbajo&#039;s Name to Corruption is an Exercise in Futility - Group - Pointblank News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/linking-osinbajos-name-to-corruption-is-an-exercise-in-futility-group\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Linking Osinbajo&#039;s Name to Corruption is an Exercise in Futility - Group - Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A social-political group, The Progressive League (TPL) has described the subtle attempt to link the name of Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN to&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/linking-osinbajos-name-to-corruption-is-an-exercise-in-futility-group\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-08-21T14:58:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Yemi-Osinbajo.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/linking-osinbajos-name-to-corruption-is-an-exercise-in-futility-group\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/linking-osinbajos-name-to-corruption-is-an-exercise-in-futility-group\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Our Reporter\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/#\/schema\/person\/ba61acbe7e8967bcf3f3ba603d9db23c\"},\"headline\":\"Linking Osinbajo&#8217;s Name to Corruption is an Exercise in Futility &#8211;
