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."

Bro. Tolu is known for peace and he's a peace journalist.
This FTC is dedicated to all single NAIRALANDERS

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?

Is time for denial right..hmmmm

ineffectual buffoon

We knw u didn't. Why u go talk thru proxy? Since wen did u start that?

But the ineffective Buffon must stick

"My mother said to me, if you are a soldier, you will become a general, if you are a monk, you will become the Pope. Instead i was a president, and became an INEFFECTUAL BUFFON" - GEJ

Meanwhile the TANOID cum IPOB are serial losers both in propaganda and in election!

the more GEJ buys international awards, the more he gets international reject...Even though he is enjoying himself today, i feel kinda sorry for him.

Mr man shut up pls. You wrote the piece. you have been busted. You thought The Economist non disclosure policy of writers will save you this time. hack writer doing hatchet jobs

Where is the letter The Economist wrote to you confirming the spurious allegation you & your paid online hacks fabricated

Na wah for una ooo... Una nor fit see any project to fruition, every move is a failure, back to back, no clear objective, just clutching at straws upandan!!


I won't call Clueless Hero his new appellation but he it fits him to a T, going by the mediocre propaganda his support base put up!!! Each time, gets shut down with speed!!

Y'all are bunch of learners!

I expect abuses, so keep it coming... yeye!

I concur. Does Ogunlesi have a super grasp of economics? The Economist only deals with the very best in that field. They are 2nd to none.

Try harder next time

The only person with the adjective of "Ineffectual" is GEJ. You can try as hard as you wish, it won't stick on any other. The Ineffectual Buffoon indeed!

I challenge him to go to court if he is confident of himself.. that he didn't pen the said aarticle.. Bunch of liars

Anybody who believes that Tolu wrote that Article is An Ineffectual Buffoon

who is he going to take to court?

IPOB Youths like you?

The paid article,its the handwork of APC they ahv become unlike the Britons they have devised fr dem selvs "confuse distract and loot".ders is hunger in d land.APC face it and solve it.

.

why won't he deny it, when he has realized how stupid he was! BTW he's asking for an apology! GEJ never demanded that!

**** not comment on a subject on which you do not have a good grasp of. In that same article, Buhari was accused of destroying the economy and making the same mistakes he made 30 years ago, are you saying APC wrote this? everything is not pdp vs apc

AtlanticBreeze:

But what is so hard in providing conclusive proof if you guys feel he actually did it? You can't accuse someone out of the blues without a shred of evidence and ask him to go to court to prove his innocence! how does that work?

Who is tolu? They will soon shock him! The publishers mentioned insider information and his style of writing betray him.

Wailers are just something else, after wailing endlessly about Jonathan being called an ineffectual buffoon, one of them now cooked up a story that Tolu Ogunlesi wrote the article, d rest of them as usual quickly believe it cos it suits what they hear, I just pity for this people, bitterness and hate is eating them up

AtlanticBreeze:

You wrote the article. I say so because I feel like it.

Now go to court and prove you did not write it.

while the coward that called GEJ has denied doing so, I will never deny calling you an ineffectual zombie and your god buhari an ineffectual dullard

Lies! Its only a FOOL that will expect him to say "I wrote it"

now wailers wail on something new
