N5bn defamation threat: We meet in court – Onanuga replies Peter Obi

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.

 

Recall that Onanuga recently alleged that Obi
and his supporters were responsible for the planned nationwide protests against
the Tinubu-led government over the hardship in the country.

 

But 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.

 

Reacting, Onanuga, in a fresh post 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.”
