Vice President Yemi Osinbanjo is ready to waive his constitutional immunity and undergo trial in order to clear his name of allegations over N90 billion he is alleged to have recieved for election funding from the Federal Inland Revenue Service in 2019.

Via Twitter on his verified handle, @ProfOsinbajo, the VP stated: “In the past few days, a spate of reckless and malicious falsehoods have been peddled in the media against me by a group of malicious individuals. The defamatory and misleading assertions invented by this clique hadmostly been making the social media rounds anonymously.“I have today instructed the commencement of legal action against twondividuals, one Timi Frank and another Katch Ononuju, who have put their names to these odious falsehoods. I will waive my constitutional immunity to enable the most robust adjudication of these claims of libel and malicious falsehood."

Timi Frank, former deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Monday claimed the alllegations against Osinbanjo had to do with the N90 million from past elections, and not upcoming 2023 elections.

Frank also challenged Osinbanjo to sue him in court for the supposed falsehoods against him rather than taking to media to deny them.

He further urged Osinbajo to resign "so as not to influence the judiciary as well as use
public funds to pursue the case as a sitting vice president."
