The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Communications and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has clapped back at Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, over threat to institute a lawsuit against him.
Recalls that earlier, Onanuga alleged that Obi and his supporters were behind the planned nationwide protests against the Tinubu-led government over the hardship in the country.
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.

The former Anambra state governor also demanded N5 billion in damages from Onanuga over the said allegation.
Meanwhile, in a swift reaction, Onanuga, in a fresh post on his official X handle on Tuesday July 23, said: “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.”
