The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Communications and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has addressed the recent threat from Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, to initiate legal action against him.



Onanuga's accusation that Obi and his supporters were behind the planned nationwide protests against the Tinubu administration due to the economic hardships facing the country.


In response, Obi, through a letter signed by his lawyer Alex Ejesieme, demanded that Onanuga retract his statement and issue a public apology within 72 hours. Additionally, Obi sought N5 billion in damages for the alleged defamation.


Onanuga, however, remained defiant. In a recent post on his official X handle, he stated: “I am still waiting for the letter from Peter Obi’s lawyer threatening a N5 billion suit and demanding an apology to Peter Obi over the planned ‘revolution’.


“Let me just tell Obi and his lawyer: I am not afraid of any legal action. We shall meet in court.”
