When will Timi Frank apologize? if he does not apologize and he is not challenged in court, I would believe Frank.

It was not sloppy, it was deliberate. They never knew VP will come for them.

They thought they could just run dere mouth as usual without any consequences. Not everyone would take rubbish if his hands are not clean,he wouldn't come out like dis.

Information Parrot Nigeria

After an earlier apology to vice president, Prof.Yemi Osinbajo over a publication containing libelous allegations that he (Osinbajo) superitended over the spending of N90bn received from the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS to finance the electoral victory of the ruling APC in the South-West during the 2019 elections, the Editorial Team of Vanguard Newspaper on Tuesday, Oct.1 2019 has also tendered a similar apology to Mr.Babatunde Fowler, who is the Executive Director of the FIRS.

In the apology and retraction posted on its official news website, Vanguard through its editor said:

"On our website publication of  Monday, September 23, 2019 we published a story titled “N 90bn FIRS Election Fund: Osinbajo’s problem, not 2023 politics.” We have since discovered that the story lacks factual substance and we hereby retract it in its entirety

We tender our profound apology to Mr Babatunde Fowler, Executive Chairman of the Federal Inalnd Revenue Service, FIRS, on whom the story touches directly and the FIRS, for any inconvenience or embarrassment the publication has occasioned them. We hold Mr Fowler and the FIRS in the highest esteem".

Information Parrot Nigeria recalls that the newspaper had relied on the allegations of a former deputy national publicity secretary of the APC, Timi Frank, to publish the news article.

Meanwhile, Mr.Frank has remained unrepentant over his allegations amidst legal threats by Prof.Osinbajo as the PDP and some other groups and Nigerians loyal to it had relied on Frank's allegation to demand for the resignation of Prof.Osinbajo.

It's not enough.
Such reputable newspaper should have shown more diligence no matter how juicy the news may be. They seem to forget they're not online bloggers we see everyday on NL who formulate some fake stories for traffic to their site

Good development. Now the coast is clear to sue Timi Frank, but I doubt Osibanjo will do that. Not because he has anything to hide, but because he's a smart man; realizing that you don't fight a pig and don't come out unsullied!!

This is exactly the punishment I would have insisted on.

Vanguard can't fight FG and win.

I would insist on publishing the apology from October 1 till January 1.

Then, they would learn to fire that useless bigot Editor
