Amaechi to sue fani kayode fayoses aide for defamation

It seems like there's a new development in the Nigerian political scene!

According to reports, Rotimi Amaechi, a former Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of Transportation, is planning to sue Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation, and his aide, Dipo Olowookere, for defamation.

The alleged defamation stems from a statement made by Fani-Kayode and Olowookere, which Amaechi claims is false and damaging to his reputation. Specifically, they allegedly accused Amaechi of being involved in the murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa, a prominent Nigerian activist who was executed in 1995.

Amaechi has denied the allegations and is seeking damages for the harm caused to his reputation. His lawyers have reportedly sent a letter to Fani-Kayode and Olowookere, demanding an apology and retraction of the statement.

This development comes amidst a backdrop of increasing political tensions in Nigeria, with many politicians trading barbs and accusations on social media. It remains to be seen how this lawsuit will play out, but it's clear that Amaechi is taking a strong stance to protect his reputation.
