Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Communications and Strategy, has fired back at Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, over a threat to institute a lawsuit against him.
Obi had demanded a retraction and apology from Onanuga over his allegation that Obi and his supporters were behind planned nationwide protests against the Tinubu-led government.
Onanuga, however, remains unapologetic, saying he is not afraid of any legal action and is willing to meet Obi in court. In a post on his official X handle, Onanuga dared Obi and his lawyer, saying “We shall meet in court.” The presidential aide’s bold response has set the stage for a potential legal showdown between the two parties, with many eagerly awaiting the outcome.
