Tolu Ogunlesi: "I Didn't Write The Economist 'Ineffectual Buffoon' Article" by TheophilusA: 8:45am On Jan 30, 2016 |
Award-winning journalist Tolu Ogunlesi has dismissed allegations that he wrote the article which described ex-president Dr. Goodluck Jonathan as "an ineffectual buffon who let politicians and their cronies fill their pockets with impunity". In a series of tweets, Tolu Ogunlesi 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." http://dawntodusknews.com/tolu-ogunlesi-i-didnt-write-the-economist-ineffectual-buffoon-article-on-jonathan/ 10 Likes 1 Share

Whether he wrote it or not, GEJ was and is an Ineffectual Buffoon. No apologies. If not, where was he when our treasury was being shared by Dasuki to every Obanikoro, Metuh, Bafarawa, Jaafar Isa, Yuguda, Haliru Bello, Dokpesi and co? 138 Likes 15 Shares |
