Press Release: Recent Campaign of Falsehood And Calumny Against Dr.Okupe by Lai Mohammed

Posted by admin Headlines Friday, August 24th, 2012

We have observed the massively orchestrated campaign of calumny against the person of Dr
Okupe on the issue of Contractual obligations of two companies where he had interest and used
to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Firstly, these companies are duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission with the full
complement of other Directors including foreign nationals apart from Dr Okupe
Legally Dr Okupe is an individual with an identity separate from the corporate identities of these
two companies.

The publications are full of outright falsehood and fabrications politically motivated out of
desperation by the Action Congress who feel that their overwhelming domination of the media
which they have deployed for 2 years to malign and disparage the personality and programs of
President Goodluck Jonathan ,is about to come to an end.

The ACN through Alhaji Lai Mohammed deliberately converted purely commercial and civil
transactions guided by legal agreements containing lawful procedures for dispute resolution and
redress jointly agreed to by the Parties concerned into criminal accusations which is intended for
political exploitations.

Therefore Dr Okupe is under a moral obligation to the Nigerian Public to clear his name and set
the records straight .He will in a few days address the Nigerian news media and the Nigerian
Public with facts and figures exonerating him from any criminal culpability in the said transactions
in order to expose the wicked and malicious intentions of Alhaji Lai Mohammed and his cohorts
,who have a penchant and a rabid agenda for pulling down any upcoming personality of Yoruba
descent who do not belong to their Political cabal or subscribe to their political aspirations.
