Political and human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, has sided with renowned lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) and his family in the ongoing rift between them and social media activist, VeryDarkMan.
Speaking in a post on her X account on Saturday, Yesufu noted that the Falanas are correct for suing Verydarkman after he failed to retract his allegations of them being a party in Bobrisky not serving his jail term.
News About Nigeria reports that while countering claims that the legal luminaries should have focused on the corruption aspect of the case and not VeryDarkMan, the Labour Party (LP) chieftain insisted that the two can go hand in hand.
She also added that the family has their reputation to retain which is why they are not taking chances.
She wrote, “In the last few days I have been aghast at the thinking of so many.
Many think they own you when you speak against injustice or stand for someone. If the Falanas let this go unchallenged the same people will say that they are guilty of what they are accused of. Now they are taking it up they say it is oppression. The same person did say they should clear their names and that is exactly what they are doing.
“For those who feel that the focus should be on the corruption and not Falanas taking on defamation case, have you ever heard of multi tasking? Both can be done. If the guy in the video has evidence to the accusations then he goes to court otherwise tender the apologies and let everyone move on. Because many do not care about their reputation they feel others shouldn’t. You want to tarnish a family’s hard earned name and you think they should let it go. What nonsense is that! The corruption case can go hand in hand.”
