Wazobia FM has apologised and retracted its story on the allegations made by Timi Frank that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo received N90 billion from FIRS as campaign funds for 2019 polls.
Wazobia FM apologized to Prof. Osinbajo, saying that it had since discovered, like other well-meaning individuals and Nigerian organisations including Vanguard Newspaper that the allegations were baseless, untrue and unsubstantiated.
In a letter to the station, solicitors to the Vice President had said that for over four decades, the VP had been a distinguished scholar and legal practitioner and had risen through the ranks and files of his career. The lawyers added that the VP was Attorney General of Lagos State for 8 years and became a Senior Advocate of Nigeria in 2002 with unblemished records.
