Nigerians Reacts As Osinbajo Waives Immunity To Clear His Name

Embattled Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has reacted to the on-going alleged defamation of his name. In a story earlier reported by Naija News, he stated that he is ready to waive his constitutional immunity to “enable the most robust adjudication” of several baseless allegations, insinuation, and falsehoods against his person and office.

Meanwhile, some Nigerians have taken to Twitter to react to the development.
