Former Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has initiated a N5 billion libel suit against Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Communication and Strategy.

Obi’s legal team, led by Alex Ejiesieme (SAN), has formally communicated with Onanuga, requesting a retraction and apology for a publication made on his verified social media handle.

“We have our Client’s mandate to demand that you retract the statement made in the publication and tender an unreserved apology to him within 72 hours of the receipt of this letter in not less than 4 National Dailies to wit: Vanguard, This Day, Punch and the Cable, including your verified ‘X’ handle ‘@aonanuga1956’.

“Our Client also is making an unequivocal demand for monetary damage of N5,000,000,000 (Five Billion Naira) only for the embarrassment your defamatory publication has caused him and his family,” the letter read.

There have been reports of planned protests against the rising cost of living and economic hardship in Nigeria, scheduled between August 1 and 15.

News360 Nigeria reported a recent post on X, where Onanuga alleged that Obi’s supporters were planning protests and mayhem against the government, claiming they aim to create chaos in Nigeria.

Smart moves

Effort in futility

Na wah! Peter Obi dey drag Onanuga to court for N5 billion?

Is he trying to turn his political failure into a money-making scheme? This man no get shame at all. Instead of focusing on how to better his image, he’s chasing shadows and wasting time.

The same Peter Obi who goes around every day defaming Tinubu and the government?
I hope when next he lies against Tinubu and is sued in court for the lie, the obidunce will not shout witch-hunting.

MadeInTokyo:
Nice ones
All these Thief_nubu/APC brain dead zombies including the hungry ones here on Nairaland must learn hard lessons.

Must you troll? The mods must do something about you.

Can somebody quote me with what Onanuga said that led Obi to sue him to court ?

Nairaland no be court. Onanaga should go to court with the evidence of PO planning chaos .

While that plays out, don't forget Asiwaju presidential aide on whatever; Dada Olusegun advocate protests few years ago against GEJ.... Rea the tweets yourself!

Obi you are yet to drag UK immigrations that detained you at the airport to court, you are yet to file a case of defamations of yes daddy audio to court as you said. Shameless confused man
