Bayo Onanuga, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Communications and Strategy, has responded to the threat by Peter Obi to sue him.
Onanuga recently claimed that the former Labour Party presidential candidate and his supporters were behind the planned nationwide strike against the current government led by Tinubu due to the country’s difficulties.
However, in a letter sent by his lawyer, Alex Ejesieme, to Onanuga, Obi urged the presidential spokesperson to retract the statement and apologise within 72 hours.
Obi also requested N5 billion in compensation from Onanuga for the aforementioned accusation.
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.”
