The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has filed a countersuit against a suit filed by the Buhari Campaign Organization accusing him of libel asking the court to grant an order mandating President Buhari to apologise to him for filing a frivolous suit against him.
He further asked for an order of court mandating that the total sum of ₦2 Billion as damages be sent to all the Internally Displaced Peoples camps across the country and for equipment of libraries and Information Technology for all state universities in Nigeria.
President Buhari and the Buhari Campaign Organization had dragged the PDP Presidential flag bearer and his personal assistant, Phrank Shaibu, before the court over alleged defamation accusing them of making several defamatory statements in some national newspapers to the effect that he (Buhari) used his position as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and head of the government to fraudulently acquire two private companies and demanded an apology in two national dailies.
The case will come up for hearing on March 7, in Court 34, Apo Division of the FCT High Court.
