Sahara Reporters, through its
publisher, Omoyele Sowore has
dared Former Minister of State for
Defence and ministerial nominee,
Senator Musiliu Obanikoro to go
ahead with his threat to sue the
online news portal for leaking the
audio tape of the meeting he had
with a military officer and others to rig the 21 June, 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State.

Sahara Reporters founder, Omoyele Sowore, Sowore urged “Koro” to go ahead in a phone chat with P.M.NEWS on Thursday, the evening newspaper has said.

Obanikoro, who reportedly, in
desperation to have his ministerial
approved by the National Assembly confessed to some senators that he was in Ekiti State on the eve of the election and was at the meeting at the behest of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Koro immediately after the rigging tape was leaked said that he has asked his U.S. lawyers to sue Sahara Reporters.

Sowore during his phone
conversation said he would be
delighted to see Koro in New York
where he expects the former
minister would thoroughly mess
himself up because his libel suit
would lack merit and he won’t be
able to bribe any judge to pervert
the course of justice in his favour.

Sowere also boasted that said Koro would suffer the same fate as three other Nigerians who tried to sue Sahara Reporters for libel in New York but ended up losing their cases.

Sowore mentioned Paul Orhii, the
Director-General of NAFDAC; Emeka Ugwonye, a Nigerian lawyer who helped the Nigerian government to sell properties in U.S., and another Nigerian lawyer, Eric Abakporo, as those who have tried to sued him and Sahara Reporters for libel but lost.

He said the case of Abakporo, a
pastor, was even more pathetic as
he ended up being jailed for seven
years as a fraudulent estate agent
who also duped an old woman in
U.S.

Sowore said the ultimate defense
against libel is the truth, adding
that a U.S. company has authenticated the voices in the
audio tape and there was no way
Koro could controvert or deny it.

Sowere insinuated that in a decent society, Obanikoro ought to be arrested, tried and jailed for his role in the Ekiti rigging.

On Koro being nominated as
Minister by President Goodluck
Jonathan, Sowere said; “It is a
shame he is being rewarded with a ministerial appointment.”

The meeting, which is now known
as “Ekitigate”, was secretly taped
by an Army Captain, Sagir Koli, who was subsequently forced to flee for his life.

Sowere is not the only activist to
tasked Obanikoro with going to
court as Popular lawyer and Human right activist , Femi Falana, had earlier dared those involved in the rigging of the Ekiti State
governorship elections of last year
to go to court.
