Abuja, Nigeria – Bayo Onanuga, a media aide to President Bola Tinubu, has vowed to vigorously defend himself against a N5 billion defamation lawsuit threatened by Peter Obi’s lawyer.
Onanuga, who had alleged that Obi was sponsoring a planned “revolution” against the government, stated that he stands by his words and is not afraid of legal action.
“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”.
“I am ready to meet them in court and defend my statement,” Onanuga said in a statement on Tuesday.
The lawsuit is the latest development in the escalating feud between Obi and Onanuga, with both sides accusing each other of spreading falsehoods and inciting violence.
