The Informed Northern Youths Forum, has expressed disturbed on the attacks on President Tinubu by a Nigeria-Chinese based Blogger, Dan-Bello, alleging that the President is the owner of several oil companies in some parts of the world.
The forum, said after meeting in Kano that, “we gathered here to address a grave matter that threatens the integrity of our nation’s leadership. A thread of videos circulating online, courtesy of Dan Bello, which makes spurious allegations against His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other well meaning compatriots.”
The Director General of the Forum, Ambassador, Yusuf Shamsudeen PNHA, said, “these claims are nothing short of defamation and a blatant attempt to tarnish the President’s reputation.”
He said, “the allegations in question falsely accused the President of owning Agip and Raz Oil and Gas, and of personally benefiting from Nigeria’s fuel subsidy scheme. Moreover, it is claimed that his relatives hold positions on the boards of these companies. We stand before you today to categorically deny these baseless accusations.”
“The Informed Northern Youth Forum (INYF) has conducted thorough investigations and possesses concrete evidence debunking these claims. We will release the true story behind these allegations in the coming weeks, exposing the lies and machinations of Dan Bello and his sponsors.”
Ambassador Yusuf, said “We will spearhead efforts to identify and apprehend Dan Bello and his sponsors within and outside the country, Ensure their extradition to Nigeria and Bring them to justice for their defamatory actions”, he assured.
“We urge the public to remain vigilant and discerning in the face of misinformation. Let us unite in upholding the truth and protecting the integrity of our nation’s leadership, to Dan Bello and his sponsors, we say: your attempts to discredit our President will not succeed. You will face the full weight of the law.” They added.
