You Call Me "Lie" Mohammed, Tell Me One Lie I Have Told Since I Became A Minister - Lai Mohammed Asks Critics

Nigeria's Information and Culture minister, Lai Mohammed has called on Nigerians who are fond of calling him a liar and referring to him as "Lie Mohammed" to come up with just one lie he has told since assuming office as a minister.

Lai Mohammed who stated this on African Independent Television, AIT said,

"People just have a mindset that whatever Lai Mohammed says cannot be true, but nobody has ever come out to say that I said `Y’ and it was `Z’ that happened. For me, I will remain focused because it is a price you pay for serving your country. I also see this as a deliberate strategy to whittle me down, but I must remain focused and will not be distracted."

"I believe sincerely that the last election was fought very bitterly and I was largely the face of the party and I kept asking them to fight me on facts, not on emotions. Give me one thing that I have said which is not true. There is a Yoruba proverb that says that you can only wake up somebody who is sleeping, you cannot wake up a fellow who is pretending to fall asleep," the information minister added.
