Peter Obi Takes Legal Action Against President Tinubu’s Aide, Demands N5 Billion in Compensation

-



Abuja, Nigeria

Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has initiated legal proceedings against Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Communication and Strategy, for making defamatory statements linking Obi and his supporters to planned nationwide anarchy.

According to a letter from Obi’s legal team, Alex Ejesieme (SAN) & Co, addressed to Onanuga, the accusations were published on Onanuga’s verified X account on July 20, 2024, and subsequently circulated across various media platforms, including Vanguard News, Punch, The Cable, This Day Live, Tribune Online, Leadership, and Channels TV.

The controversial publication alleges that Obi’s supporters are orchestrating nationwide protests aimed at destabilizing the federal government. The letter categorically denies these claims, describing them as “false and malicious,” and emphasizes that Obi has always encouraged his supporters to uphold the rule of law and express dissatisfaction through constructive criticism rather than violence.

Obi’s legal representatives argue that the statements were made with the intent to ostracize and malign him, causing significant emotional distress. They contend that the publication has not only damaged Obi’s reputation but also prompted a global outcry among his supporters and well-wishers.

The letter demands an immediate retraction of the statements and an unreserved apology within 72 hours of receipt. Furthermore, Obi is seeking N5 billion in damages for the harm caused by the defamatory statements.

Obi, known for his principled stance and advocacy for good governance, is determined to clear his name and hold those responsible for the publication accountable.

This legal action underscores the ongoing tension and high stakes in Nigeria’s political landscape Nigeria Politicians grapples with allegations and counter-allegations among its political elites.

Biafra Sun Int'l. Renowned human rights campaigner Margaret Owen has issued a fervent plea for the UK government to intervene in the case of 56-year-old Nnamdi Okwu-Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Kanu, a British citizen, was illegally abducted from Kenya in 2021 by Nigerian authorities in an act of extraordinary rendition. His ongoing detention, described by legal experts as unlawful, has placed a significant strain on his family in the UK, including his wife Uche and their two young sons. Despite the severity of the case and Kanu’s deteriorating health, the UK government has taken little action to secure his release. Owen, reflecting on the parallels with the high-profile case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who was detained in Iran for six years, is now advocating for stronger pressure on the government. She highlighted the toll on Kanu’s family, noting that his wife and children, all British citizens, remain in limbo as the father’s imprisonment drags ...
