Dr.-Muiz-Banire
Revered legal adviser, Dr. Muiz Banire has reacted to a false tale making the rounds that he was given a cold shoulder by his leader and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu while he visited his Ikoyi, Lagos home.
Speaking in a chat with www.theoctopusnews.com, Banire said “I am not refuting that I visited Tinubu. However, I denounce the wicked and malicious claim by an online magazine that I was stopped from gaining access into Asiwaju’s compound.”
The knowledgeable scholar termed the rumour as senseless and baseless and considers it as ‘clear falsehood’
The online story has since been described as ‘a wake-up attempt’, giving that Banire, recently was believed to have fallen apart with Tinubu over a piece of opinion he wrote advising his political party, APC, of which Asiwaju is the leader, against its imposition style of the past.
Banire concluded on the story, saying ‘it is just the creation of the writer who sat at a corner to conjure stories from the moon.
His words “I do not have any problem with my leader. Yes, I’ve been to Bourdillon two times this year and I have people that were with me. Let the writer(s) inform the world the people that were present when I was turned back. The first time I went there, there were various people including Zulu Baba Ewe, Rotimi Agunsoye and many other people. The second time was the day our presidential candidate Buhari came to campaign in Lagos; I went there with Governor Aregbesola, ex- Ekiti governor, Segun Oni, Hon Bayo Osinowo, Tunde Balogun, Mr ibukun Fakeye. and many others. We even ate together with the likes of Dele Alake and some other people thereafter we left together for Asiwaju’s private office within the house.”
