REJOINDER: BUHARI TAKING CREDIT FOR JONATHAN’S ACHIEVEMENTS – REP BY POINT BLANK NEWS

GOTNI’s president, Linus Okorie have been inundated with phone calls and social media messages concerning the news “Buhari taking credit for Jonathan’s achievements” made originally by Hon. Linus Abba Okorie, a House of Representative member who represents Ohazara/Onicha/Ivo federal constituency of Ebonyi state published by Premium Times today. This same news is attributed to Linus Okorie, of GOTNI via picture credit by Point Blank News as reported by Jackson Ude.

Point blank news publishing this news with the picture of Linus Okorie, Founder of Guardians of the Nation International and not that of the House of Representative calls for serious concern. Linus Okorie has been committed to grooming the next generation of leaders through his 21-year old leadership development cause. He is not in any way an Honourable member or ever been in any political position.

Linus Okorie, whose picture appears in the news did not make any such statements and dissociates from the publication by Point blank news today, July 29, 2015 http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/buhari-taking-credit-for-jonathans-achievements-rep/ .

GOTNI Releases Disclaimer on Omololu Omotosho Facebook Photo claim

Our attention has been drawn to a post by Omololu Omotosho on February 8th, 2015 alleging that President Goodluck Jonathan sent GOTNI president, Linus Okorie to him in Texas. His words exactly were:

"I would rather not do this. But there is nothing wrong in setting the record straight. This is the gentleman, Linus Okorie, that President Goodluck Jonathan sent to meet with me here in Texas. Mr. Okorie came from Nigeria and lives there. It is God that has the power. I get nasty messages in my inbox from Nigerians living in Nigeria. It is time for me to change the settings on my Facebook pertaining to who can send me messages. What they do not know is that the more they attack me, the more I wanna fight......I fight with my pen and pad obviously. I have met with them twice: My first meeting with President Jonathan's people was in 2013. At that time they refused a picture when I asked for one. Some people think I am stupid. But I am not..... I may be looking at you like I don't know what is going on.....but I am not stupid. I just let you do you........."

However, we want to state categorically that the young man Omololu Omotosho took the attached photo with Linus Okorie when he visited Linus Okorie in Houston during one of Linus’ official trips by Guardians Of The Nation International (GOTNI) in August 2014.
