\"Ezekwesili:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The son of former Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili, Chuba, has waded into the war of words raging between his mother and social media influencer, Japhet Omojuwa, in the past few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a series of tweets on his Twitter account with the handle @ChubaEze, late on Wednesday, Chuba dared Omojuwa to show evidence of where his mother gave her consent to be a director in Omojuwa\u2019s PR company, Alpha Reach, as being claimed by him (Omojuwa<\/a> and his lawyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fascinating watching you @Omojuwa do your best to avoid taking responsibility,\u201d Chuba wrote in one of the tweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other posts, he wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve still not shown any document that indicates she signed or gave you any consent. You took @obyezeks name & tried to use it for your gain & lied when it came out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can try to obfuscate with all these shalaye you\u2019ve done @omojuwa, but you\u2019re yet to do this simple task \u2013 show evidence that she gave you consent and that she was aware you made her a director in your company. It\u2019s that simple \u2013 show us all your evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere have been many like you @omojuwa over the years who have thought they could use mom\u2019s kindness and love for Nigeria to profit. You all think you got away with it, but we can assure you that this isn\u2019t how the story ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m grateful for the actions you\u2019ve taken so far because it will be to our benefit. You will be an example to others that no one ever bullies the Ezekwesili family. No one. Hi @omojuwa. You can block me, but you can\u2019t block @officialEFCC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The face-off between Omojuwa and Ezekwesili came about when an international media platform, Buzzfeed, exposed how some Nigerian social media influencers, including Alpha Reach, a public relations firm owned by Omojuwa, were paid huge amounts of money to run a campaign in support of Alex Saab, an alleged money launderer for the Nicolas Maduro-led Venezuelan government, who is currently fighting extradition to the United States from Cape Verde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

There were also allegations that Ezekwesili and Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai were directors in the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the revelation, the former Minister threatened to sue Omojuwa for \u201cunauthorised use of her name as a director of the company without her consent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, on Wednesday, Omojuwa broke his silence over the issue and in a four-page letter written in response to the threat by his lawyers, he insisted that Ezekwesili was a director of the firm and that her consent was sought and obtained before listing her as one of the company\u2019s directors in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s fascinating watching you @Omojuwa<\/a> do your best to avoid taking responsibility.<\/p>

1. You\u2019ve still not shown any document that indicates she signed or gave you any consent
2. You took @obyezeks<\/a> name & tried to use it for your gain & lied when it came out https:\/\/t.co\/UCuouPlduL<\/a><\/p>
