*Says I’m Not Afraid Of Going To Court
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy on Tuesday says he has not received any court letter from Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections.
Speaking with TheScrutinyNG, Onanuga said while he will not rely on what is being bandied about on social media, he is not afraid of going to court any moment he received the letter from Peter Obi.
“I have not seen any letter from him. Until I see his letter, that’s when I will respond. I always want to avoid social media gossip”.
“I have not been served with any letter and I can tell you I’m not afraid of anybody going to court. So, I am waiting for him to send me his letter”.
On Tuesday, Obi, through his legal team filed a N5bn libel suit against Onanuga, on his recent allegations against him on the forthcoming protest.
Obi’s legal team, led by Alex Ejiesieme (SAN), wrote to Onanuga demanding 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’.
