While noting that his boss was quoted out of context as he never said that kidnapping in Nigeria was exaggerated, but is not a new phenomenon.
“Kidnapping in Nigeria is exaggerated and not entirely new.”
He said that nowhere in the Vice President’s remarks at the town hall meeting with the Nigerian community did he use the word “exaggerated”; not even by implication.
Reacting to the Osinbajo’s comment via his Facebook page, Olayinka said : “Our LYING Pastor @ProfOsinbajo must travel on Abuja – Kaduna, Ibadan – Akure – Owo – Ikare, Ado – Ikere, Ado – Iwaraja, Kabba – Okene – Lokoja and Kabba – Obajana – Lokoja roads without SECURITY AIDES when he returns from that USA where he went to LIE. If you agree, say YEAH.”
