Sequel to today, there has been allegations pointing out that journalist and creative writer, Tolu Ogunlesi allegedly co-authored an article, by The Economist, which labeled Nigeria’s former president, Goodluck Jonathan, an ineffectual buffoon. The article also described President Buhari’s approach to dealing with Nigeria’s economic challenges as “crude.”

The article which attracted the condemnation from many Nigerians, saw The Economist trending for hours in the Nigerian social media space.

Tolu minutes ago has taken to his twitter to deny all allegations, he said “I'm surprised and amused by the allegations that I wrote or contributed to the Economist 'ineffectual buffoon' piece. I did not. While flattered to be associated with the Economist, whose literary style I immensely admire, I cannot claim ANY credit for that piece. I am not and have never been one to be anonymous when making journalistic comments about people. I do not hide behind anonymity . I will be sending a letter to the online publication that fabricated the allegation, asking for a retraction and a public apology. Moral of the Story: beware of rumours that cause those who fall for them to tweet like ineffectual buffoons.”

I guess the new trick now is to conjecture and accuse someone falsely. If he doesn't refute the accusation, then he is guilty.
