Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Former President, Goodluck Jonathan is expected to testify in court in a libel case involving Yinka Odumakin, National Publicity of Afenifere and Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC).

Odumakin is instituting legal action against Sagay for allegedly publishing a libelous story against him.

Odumakin, through his lawyer, H.B. Williams of Chapitre LLP is also demanding N5bn in damages from Sagay for the alleged injury caused him by the publication titled: “Odumakin, Jackal At Large” published in the February 11, 2019 edition of a national daily.

In the article, Sagay had alleged that Odumakin who betrayed President Muhammadu Buhari after the 2011 presidential election, which was won by former Goodluck Jonathan, received money from Jonathan’s campaign team to set up “a fake Radio Station in Ibadan in 2015”.

According to Daily Independent findings, Jonathan has agreed to testify in court whether he gave Odumakin money to set up the private radio station known as Petals 102.3 FM.

The letter by Odumakin’s lawyer reads: “We write on behalf of Mr. Yinka Odumakin herein referred to as “Our Client”.

“We have been briefed by our Client regarding the several issues that have transpired between you, Prof. Itse Sagay and our client in relation to political disagreements which has led to your unfounded published statement, defamation and harassment of our client in The Nation Newspaper on 11th February, 2019. Our client considers the whole of the publication false, injurious and libelous.

“Note further that people understood your malicious publication to mean: Our client is dishonest, and a cheat who has been involved in bribery and corruption.

“Our client is a social misfit, unscrupulous, and unqualified for the position he currently qualifies”.

“Our client is a fraud and a political deviant known in the political sphere of Nigeria. Our client contrives to breach public trusts.”

Aside payment of N5bn damages, Odumakin’s lawyers asked Sagay to publish a retraction and apology in two national dailies.

However, Sagay in his response to Odumakin’s lawyers simply said “See you in court”.

Case coming up this week

Can you vote a man who thinks foreign rice is not good for Nigerians but foreign hospital is good for him?The 2nd mistake Buhari will make was his deliberate delay in choosing Ministers for almost a year meaning he spent his first fiscal year without any form of FEC meeting where new govt tactical and strategic policies
are brain stormed and matched against Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) , this delay was like virtually pausing the life support of a patient in Coma while you searched for a medical expert !!
The Outcome: This needless delay would end up putting the Nigerian economy under stress as for months unending every other micro policy from state govts to local govt to private sector where all put on hold as stakeholder waited for ministerial direction as a plimsol to guide their own decision so it was not uncommon for many of us to walk into our clients organization and be told we had to halt projects tool the ministers where inaugurated.

SaGay, old man wey no dey respect himself .

What can the failure buhari offer you except compound failure. The failure has already said last month, he will not change his pattern. Up Atiku Aguero Abubakar.Is not all about buhari and his goans telling you how the other person is corrupt.
Nigerians use your head.
Check the people telling you others are corrupt and make decision yourself, don't let people decide what's glaring to you...
In everything to me Buhari as failed, from ministerial appointment and the rest.the longest fuel queue ever experienced in Nigeria was in buhari's regime in December 2017 to January 2018 where fuel was sold at all time highest cost of 500 Naira per litre.

an Aching Tooth is Clinically and Completely
Pluck out of the mouth, The mouth must eternally chew with bitterness . This itchy fingered party called APC must be pluck out of our PRETTY BODY) come this weekend.

Odumakin must be a clown. The same Jonathan that refused to testify on behalf of Dasuki and Olisa Metuh is now willing to testify on behalf of Odumakin. We wait and see. Hopefully, prosecutors and defence counsel in Dasuki and Metuh’s case are monitoring the situation.
