A renowned political economist, Prof. Pat Utomi, has threatened a N500 billion lawsuit against President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, over an allegation against him.


DAILY POST recalls that Onanuga accused the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi and his supporters of being behind the planned nationwide protests scheduled for August.

The presidential aide alleged that Utomi and some other supporters of Obi are the organisers of the planned nationwide protests against hunger, naira devaluation and economic hardship in Nigeria.


But in a statement he signed on Monday, Utomi, a chieftain of the Labour Party, denied the allegation, saying he has been away from the country for a long time.

Pat Utomi advised Onanuga to withdraw his statement or provide evidence of his claims.

“If there is no evidence of Mr. Onanuga’s false assertion, I will assume it reasonable that the object is to water the ground for false treasonable felony charges that can result in the claim of one’s life. I intend to therefore proceed to the international criminal and other human rights courts if a reasonable explanation is not forthcoming.


“I will also have no choice but to institute a claim of N500 billion for fake news, hate speech and intent to procure State murder of an innocent citizen. If judicial capture makes justice problematic in Nigeria I expect that I can trust extra-national institutions and global human solidarity,” Utomi said.

Throwback:
It is his right to sue if he knows he has been wrongly accused.

As for Bayo Onanuga, keep firing on all cylinders.

That Buhari accepted all manner of nonsense from the opposition, does not mean Tinubu should accept anarchy merchants posing as political opposition.

It is in this same country that a certain Jackson Ude that is prolific for spreading misinformation, claimed that heavy security is at Fashola's bouse in Abuja as he is busy writing the judgement for the Supreme Court in the presidential election suit filed by PDP and LP.

Meanwhile, same Fashola was at a society wedding in Lagos at the very same day, and seen by all and sundry.

They all want to ride roughshod over the candidate that defeated them despite how they made it a religion to daily malign him as a candidate and all those who were supporting him. They do not know that you cannot ride a lion.

The most truthful Nigerian is the one who hasn’t gone near power or whose friend(s) hasn’t got power.

Tribalism kills truth (Prof. Soyinka, a case study)

Religion silence truth ( Our G Os, a case study)

Business interest blinds the truth.

Political affiliation destroys the truth.

Racoon:
Go ahead Pat. Bayo Onanuga is a complete senseless idiot.

Actually, this is ironic. If the APC, PDP, supreme Court justices, appeal court justices, retired justices like Odili e.t.c were to start suing Obidients, they would be the first to scream victimization. Lol.

Peter Obi is the biggest tribalist and religious bigot to ever appear on the Nigerian political space. Always using Yoruba hate in Alaibo to win elections in Anambra.
