Mohammed Adoke (SAN), a former attorney general and minister of justice, has accused Nigeria’s Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, of being behind his persecution by the federal government.
YaahooJournalist reports that the former Minister of Justice said this in his book. ‘Burden of Service: Reminiscences of Nigeria’s former Attorney-General’.
Adoke gave three reasons he feels the Vice President was responsible for his travails.
The former Minister of Justice said: “First, it was possible some persons who were fighting me gained his confidence and persuaded him that, indeed, I was floating on a sea of stolen loot that needed to be recovered.
“It could, as a matter of fact, be a well-meaning and altruistic fight against corruption based on the purest of intentions on the VP’s part.”
He noted that the second reason is that Osinbajo, in an effort to impress President Muhammadu Buhari, has informed him that the signature bonus paid on OPL 245 is too meagre.
