Oby Ezekwesili Revealed Why She Refused To Be Buhari’s VP

I laughed at the many messages people sent me upon reading @T_Bakare ‘s factual statement that I rejected running as VP with @MBuhari 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!✍🏾✍🏾

I have often laughed at the many ludicrous falsehoods that friends and trolls of the two administrations kept throwing at me.

What some of you should do better is actually boldly confront the Confirmation Bias that made you quickly accept the falsehoods as facts. It won’t kill.
