God Will Deal With Those Who Spread Fake News About Me – Obasanjo

Chief Olusegu Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has cursed those who have been spreading fake news that he had fled Nigeria ahead of the 2019 general elections, which commenced with Presidential election tomorrow, Saturday.

Obasanjo, who was reacting to the rumor that he had escaped from the country as President Muhammadu Buhari, who he had been campaigning against for a second term is heading to victory, at his Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State capital today, Friday, said: “those who are carrying that type of rumour or fake news; I leave them in the hands of God; I am used to that kind of thing.

“Let anybody tell lies against you, let anybody issue fake news against you, let anybody abuse you, God will deal with them rightly and appropriately. Why should I travel out of the country before the election?

“If not for anything, I believe I should be here to perform my civic responsibility, which is to vote according to the dictate of my heart tomorrow and on the second of March.”
