The former President was reacting to a
twitter account, @newsvergeonline, which had posted a tweet on Sunday,
claiming that Obasanjo 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 tweet account with his
name, Olusegun A. Obasanjo posted the story with the caption,
“Fani-Kayode is a democracy wrecker, who’s very fluent in stupidity.
Give him food, and he will sing and do “shoki” dance 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, adding
that the security agencies had been placed on alert to fish out the
perpetrators.
He said, “Let me say that, 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.”
