Debunking Shola Fasure's Tissues Of Lies (Part One)..... By Kola Odepeju




 


It was bewildering reading Shola Fasure's fallacies in his latest article where he claimed that Aregbesola the millennium ingrate made Tinubu and not vice-versa. But before l proceed further, l like to pick a paragraph from the response a senior professional colleague sent to me on that write-up. It goes thus; "I never expected Sola to go that low when there are many people who know the story of the rise from abject poverty of Aregbesola to super success he enjoys today courtesy of PBAT that God used to elevate him". Of course this is apt a response to Fasure's invention. 


As the saying goes "if a lie travels for twenty years, it takes only a day for the truth to meet up with it and even overtake it". Fasure needs to know that "truth exists, only lies are invented", to borrow Goerges Barque's words. He has invented his own lies though, truth is clear to many people and like Ceaser quipped, it will remain "constant like the northern star", irrespective of attempts by lie inventors to cover it (truth) up.


The Yoruba people have a saying that; "If the person being deceived knows not that he's being deceived, the deceiver knows that he's deceiving his/her victim". This is exactly the case with Shola Fasure the man who attempted to rewrite history in his latest article. For him to have claimed that Aregbesola made Tinubu sort of stands logic on its head.  For only a man suffering from schizophrenia would come up with such a claim which is basically antithetical to reality and commonsense. But little did his claim surprise me because the Shola Fasure that l know isn't a man of integrity at all even as he claims to be a pastor. Integrity is conspicuously missing in his lexicon and as characteristic of people of nil or low integrity, there's no lie that could be considered as being too big for them to tell because they have no shame. This is the reason why Fasure could come up with spurious claims in his write-up. 


For those who didn't know, myself, Shola Fasure, Prince Kanmi Ademiluyi, Messrs Kunle Abimbola, Sanya Oni, Kola Olabisi, Roy Jibromah were all editorial board members of Osun Defender newspaper owned by Rauf Aregbesola while Pastor Segun Babatope was the chairman. All the people that l mentioned are still alive today to the glory of Almighty God and they can bear witness to my assertion here. We were all writing editorials for the paper and collecting monthly stipends until suddenly, Shola Fasure stopped writing without any notice. But as in the nature of fraudulent people, he was still collecting money for the work he didn't do. This was the reason why Mr. Babatope had to discontinue giving him monthly allowance. And this is why we were surprised when at the formation of his government Aregbesola picked Fasure out of the rest of us who were so loyal to his cause and gave him appointment as the deputy head of the Bureau of Communication he set up when he became governor. 


So the question on the lips of some of us then was; "why Fasure with little dedication record to your cause". But what is clear here is that he picked Fasure based on ethnic consideration but not that he merited the appointment. However, I don't grudge Fasure on that anyway, I see that as his own luck. But the point here is; why would people want to believe such a shameless man of no conscience on his latest fabrications? 


Another of Fasure's displays of lack of integrity, shamelessness and fraudulent attitudes that many people might not know of, is the fact that all the time he was throwing missiles at Governor Oyetola in order to satisfy Rauf's interest, he was still on Oyetola's payroll then; even as he was collecting salary from Ogbeni as his media adviser. So he was drawing money from two sources until his salary under Oyetola was stopped (if it was ever stopped). 

I can't even say with certainty here if Oyetola later stopped his salary because I could remember clearly that I once told Oyetola in the course of our discussion one day to stop his salary but he told me that "it's of no need", that "he should be left to his conscience". 


So from the foregoing, people can see how individuals without integrity can be so unscrupulous and shameless and how they can go to any length to invent lies as Fasure just displayed in his latest mendacious publication. I challenge Fasure to come out  to defend all that l have said above just as I challenged his paymaster Aregbesola to challenge my claims in the series l did in 2022 when he insulted Asiwaju Tinubu his mentor and benefactor and as l'm still going to challenge him (Rauf) to come out to refute some claims l will make in the part two of this write-up. How God used me to save him and the Sunday Adigun group in 1999 after the governorship election when our principal then, Asiwaju Tinubu wanted to do away with him and our group (excluding those that had been working for him for long; Messrs Niyi Idowu, Akintola Benson, Sunday Adepoju, Ahmed Abiuwa and Madam Funmi Ajala) for reason best known to him.


Unlike Shola Fasure Mr fabricator of lies and blackmailer and also his hubristic, ungrateful paymaster, God forbid that I should lie against anybody in my life as l'm always conscious of the day I'm going to meet my Creator and render account of my stewardship on earth to Him. I might not have money but l have my integrity intact and I'm praying to Almighty Allah to assist me in retaining my good name till He will terminate my stay in this physical planet.


Please watch out for part two of this write-up which can come out this week or latest next week by God's Grace🙏. In it you will read how God used me (based on a rejoinder l wrote in defense of Asiwaju Tinubu then) to save Rauf and our group from being done away with and also couple with mama Mogaji's intervention too. You will also read how Rauf came to Tinubu as a pauper before the latter catapulted him to super success; even beyond his own imagination. Many people know the story anyway. 


Thanks for reading patiently.

Shalom!
