I rejected an offer to be President Buhari

According to her in a tweet shared on Tuesday, November 17, she did not waste time to say no to that offer at all.

See the tweet below.

”Many People: Please tell us, is it true you actually rejected the offer to be Vice Presidential Candidate to Buhari as Pastor Bakare said? Me: Yes it is true. Any more questions?

I laughed at the many messages people sent me upon reading Tunde Bakare’s factual statement that I rejected running as VP with President Buhari in 2011. I did not waste a moment in saying No. It is why I have always pitied those who spend their years lying against me. Next please!”
