Tuesday, November 26, 2024 -Wale Ajetunmobi has reacted after a tweet he made led to his suspension.
Ajetunmobi was the Senior Special Assistant on Print Media to the
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
On Nov.
23, he made a comment alleging that arsonists who torched the Television
Continental (TVC) head office in Lagos during the #EndSARS protest in 2020 were
“hunted and executed.”
This led to his
suspension as Sanwo-Olu accused him of "misinterpreting fact."
Reacting following his suspension, Ajetunmobi wrote on X: "My only and final response to this misrepresentation…
"This excerpt was quoted out of context and there were series of
comments made under the same post, which better explained what was
intended.
"Like I did further explained under the said tweet, no
extra-judicial killing was insinuated. The word “executed” was erroneously used
and not intended in the context of that casual conversation.
"What was written in the entire conversation reflected personal
opinion, and not the position of any authority or the entity in which I
work.
“The post and other comments had been taken down, even before this
publication.”
