The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Communications and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has reacted to the threat by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, to institute a lawsuit against him.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that Onanuga recently alleged that Obi and his supporters were responsible for the planned nationwide protests against the Tinubu-led government over the hardship in the country.<\/p>\n

But Obi, in a letter signed by his lawyer, Alex Ejesieme, to Onanuga, urged the presidential spokesman to retract the statement and tender an unreserved apology to him within 72 hours.<\/p>\n

Obi also demanded N5 billion in damages from Onanuga over the said allegation.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Onanuga, in a fresh post on his official X handle on Tuesday, said: \u201cI am still waiting for the letter from Peter Obi\u2019s lawyer threatening a N5 billion suit and demanding an apology to Peter Obi over the planned \u2018revolution\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me just tell Obi and his lawyer: I am not afraid of any legal action. We shall meet in court.\u201d<\/p>\n
