Rift brews in APC as Omisore accuses Salihu Lukman of libel, seeks N500m damages | TheCable
On Tuesday, Lukman, while speaking during a programme on African Independent Television , reportedly said Omisore mismanaged campaign funds meant for Osun state.
“I’m aware the party has given some campaign funds to Osun which was handled by the national secretary and to some extent, he has either mismanaged it but more importantly, he’s not accounting to anybody and you have to activate the process of accountability,” the north-west vice-chairman was quoted as saying.
“It is clear beyond doubt that your statement and publication was a political ploy with the intent of impugning the reputation and integrity of our client and unjustifiably and unwarrantedly assassinating his character in the eyes of right-thinking members of the public,” Oyewole said in the letter addressed to Lukman.
“Our client has consequently directed us to request for a retraction of your libelous statement and publication and an apology to be published in two major newspapers and several online news outlets not later than 48 hours of the delivery of this letter and also the payment of the sum of N500,000,000 as damages for malicious statement against our client.
