Reno Omokri Takes Us Back to The 50 Lies of Lai Mohammed from 2014 to date

The 50 lies of the Minister of Information lai Mohammed posted on Nairaland.com has been dug up by Reno Omokri who is known for digging out past histories of politicians  especially the APC members.

The post reads thus;

As APC Spokesman, February 2015

Few weeks to the 2015 general election, Lai sent to media houses a picture which he claimed was that of the “Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (right) with the Chief Executive Officer, All Eyes TV Show, Kemi Fadojutimi (left), during Buhari’s working visit to the United Kingdom.”

This is a lie.
The picture was taken in suite 881 at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja and never during any “Working Visit to the United Kingdom” by Buhari.

2. APC mega rally for Ekiti governorship election, June 19 2014

While commenting on the absence of Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano state at the rally, Lai stated that “the plane that was flying Gov. Kwankwaso to Akure was denied permission to land”.

This is another lie.
“The governor is in Kano here; he did not have plans of going to Akure”.

Baba Dantiye, the Director of Press Affairs to Governor Kwankwaso told Premium Times.

3. As APC Spokesman, Thursday May 7 2015

Lai in a statement said that the outgoing administration of President Goodluck Jonathan has “bluntly refused to cooperate” with APC Transition Team to ensure a successful transition of power.

This is a lie.

The head of APC Transition Committee, Ahmed Joda faulted report of any such disagreement, noting that his “committee has never said to anybody that there is no cooperation”.

4. Thursday, January 26 2017

Lai told a delegation of the Presidential Committee on the North East Initiative “that the president is hale and hearty in London where he is observing his 10 day vacation.”

This is a lie.

Mr President, upon his return on March 3 averred that he “couldn’t recall being so sick since” he “was a young man”, adding that he had received “the best of treatment” that involved “blood transfusions, going to the laboratories, and so on and so forth”.

5.Meeting with newspaper editors, Lagos, 21st December 2015

Lai said that “the war against Boko Haram is largely won”.

“They have so degraded the capacity of Boko Haram that the terrorists can no longer hold on to any territory,”

He said.

This is a lie.
On February 7 2016, the Senator representing Borno Central, Baba Kaka Garbai warned that “we should not live under the illusion that Boko Haram are decimated or weakened” as “most of the local governments in Borno are partially occupied by Boko Haram”.

6. Press conference, Abuja, February 16 2016
Lai insisted that Boko Haram “remain massively degraded and largely defeated”, this time noting that “their capacity to operate as a troop moving in convoy of vehicles and motorcycles to launch attacks on communities and military formations has been neutralized”.

This is a lie.
On April 16 2016 for example, the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Sani Usman said that “in the early hours of Friday, some elements of Boko Haram terrorists in 5 gun trucks, motorcycles and 2 Golf cars laden with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) from Sambisa forest axis attempted an attack on 121 Task Force Battalion at Pulka”.
