“My father named me “Lai”, but I have never said anything that is not true ” — Lai Mohammed (Details, pics)

Nigeria Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed during an interactive session with journalists recently was asked how he feels when most Nigerians accuse him of being a pathological liar.

He responded as thus;

“I have two burdens. The first is that I happen to be the face of the opposition and PDP has not forgiven me and I don’t think they will ever forgive me. I think they look at the magnitude of what has happened to them and they hold me solely responsible; which is not fair.

But, I did my bit. Now becoming the face of government again, it is automatic to them that whatever comes from Lai Mohammed, we must shoot it down as fake news and a lie.

Incidentally, my father gave me the name Lai also. So, it makes it very easy for them to make me a liar. But what I challenge them every time is, please, give me one thing I said that is not true.

Emotionally, you may not agree with me but in terms of facts and figures, I have never said anything that they can dispute. You don’t have to like it but you can’t deny that they are facts”
