Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said he does not have any accounts on any social media networks.
He said this in Abeokuta on Monday.Obasanjo was reacting to a twitter
account, @newsvergeonline, which had posted a tweet on Sunday, claiming
that the ex-President had described the Director of Media and Publicity
of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation,
Femi Fani-Kayode, as a “democracy wrecker.”
He said the fake twitter account with his name, Olusegun A. Obasanjo,
posted the story with caption: ‘Fani-Kayode is a democracy wrecker,
who’s very fluent in stupidity. Give him food, and he will sing and
doshokidance for you’.
Dismissing the twitter account, he explained that all his previous
accounts on either Facebook or Twitter had long been blocked. Obasanjo
said, “I don’t know where this comes from. I don’t have any account on
either the Facebook or Twitter again. Go and block it.”
Obasanjo used the opportunity to caution those using his name to
operate illegal social media accounts, warning that the security
agencies had been placed on the alert to fish out the perpetrators.
He said, “Nemesis will catch up with anyone doing this. It is illegal
and criminal. If I have to pass any message to the good people of
Nigeria, I know how to go about it with no controversy.”
