After listening to Prince Adeyemi’s “”live interview with VeryDarkMan today, I think that, as a fair-minded person, a lawyer and a gentleman, I owe the Chief of Staff a sincere apology.
Gbajas people have not spoken to me o so don’t think anyone threatened me for saying he needed to be suspended pending this matter . This is me doing this on my own honorably before they even feel the need to ask me to stand down on this issue at least until we all see some real evidence beyond the allegations
I wrongly accepted the Prince’s claims and wrongly assumed that the Chief of Staff had, at the very least, met, spoken with, or had some direct communication with Prince Adeyemi one time before allegedly using a go-between. The man jsit said he had zero contact with him
I make no excuses for my mistake. I suppose the Prince’s confidence in naming Gbajabiamila as the person behind the alleged scam led me to assume they must have had some direct interaction before everything supposedly went through the intermediary, who is now allegedly dead (and whose reported fire incident I still cannot independently verify).
Then I had to honestly ask myself: if Prince Adeyemi, by his own admission during today’s interview with VeryDarkMan, never met the Chief of Staff, never spoke to him by phone, never had a video call with him, and never had any direct communication with him whatsoever, then how can he be so certain that it was Gbajabiamila who authorized the go-between to act on his behalf?
That question stopped me in my tracks.
Is it possible that Prince Adeyemi himself was also deceived by someone running an even bigger scam? Clearly, something unusual appears to have happened, but based on what we know today, it could have involved someone else entirely.
Fair is fair. When I make a mistake, I believe in admitting it openly. I will take whatever dragging comes my way because I deserve it. I cannot demand fairness and evidence from others, then fail to hold myself to the same standard.
I got this one wrong.
I do not believe anyone should be accused of serious wrongdoing without at least some credible evidence. In this case, the Prince has not yet presented any evidence that the public can examine beyond pointing to someone he has now admitted he never met, never spoke to, and never dealt with directly.
That is simply not enough.
Hearing him admit during his conversation with VeryDarkMan that he never spoke to Gbajabiamila, never met him, and never even saw him was like a bucket of cold water poured over my head.
What? No.
At this point, I think we should all calm down and wait for the evidence he says he possesses before rushing to conclude that the Chief of Staff has a case to answer.
On this one, I freely admit that I fumbled by assuming there must have been some direct connection between Chief of Staff Gbajabiamila and Prince Adeyemi before any alleged deal was made.
Until actual evidence is produced, fairness demands that we all reserve judgment.
