The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Communications and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has reacted to the threat by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, to institute a lawsuit against him.
Onauga had in a post shared on X over the weekend, claimed that Obi and his supporters were responsible for the planned nationwide protests against the Tinubu-led government over the hardship in the country and that Obi should be arrested for anarchy.
Obi, in a letter signed by his lawyer, Alex Ejesieme, to Onanuga, urged the presidential spokesman to retract the statement and tender an unreserved apology to him within 72 hours. Obi also demanded N5 billion in damages from Onanuga over the said allegation.Read here.
Reacting to Obi’s legal letter, Onanuga in a post shared on his official X handle on Tuesday, said;
“I am still waiting for the letter from Peter Obi’s lawyer threatening a N5 billion suit and demanding an apology to Peter Obi over the planned ‘revolution’.
Let me just tell Obi and his lawyer: I am not afraid of any legal action. We shall meet in court.”
